Questions to ponder:

1) How do you imagine the disciples felt as they approached Jerusalem, given what Jesus had said repeatedly about his own death?

2) Jesus’s entrance into the city was loaded with clear Messianic symbolism. Why do you imagine this might have made the Pharisees nervous?

3) What is significant about the crowd modifying Psalm 118:26 to add in ‘the king’ in 19:38? What does it tell us about how Luke views Jesus?

4) What is it about human nature that means we celebrate and cheer a person one minute, but turn on them and seek to tear them down the next?

5) How is this story good news for today?
