The Long Game Goes Public
On Palm Sunday, the crowd gets the words right—“Blessed is the King”—but misses what kind of King Jesus actually is. Their praise is real, their joy is genuine, yet they misunderstand where this story is going. What if that’s not just their problem—but ours? Back in Luke 19, Terry explores the tension between true worship and misunderstood kingship. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, He receives their praise while moving toward the cross—a path that doesn’t match their expectations of victory. The question is whether we will follow the kind of King He actually is.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
