Regardless whether you use these questions for group or personal reflection, there's a LOT here, so don't feel any need to cover everything!  Just use the questions below as a guideline for a way to stay present to the Lord through the week.

1. ​Take a moment to slowly read through Luke 19:28-44. What stands out to you?  What about Jesus stands out to you? 

2. In this story, there are a variety of responses.  Why do you think the "whole multitude" responds to Jesus the way that they do?  Why do the Pharisees respond as they do?  

3. On Sunday, Jean mentioned 3 ways we can "keep faith with Palm Sunday." One way is to worship Him as the rightful King.  The crowds herald Jesus as King, and in fact, if they hadn't, Jesus says...the very stones would.  For that is Who Jesus is, the rightful King.  What does it mean to worship Jesus as the rightful King?

4. A second way to keep faith with Palm Sunday is to accept Him as the humble King.  How do we see the humility of King Jesus on Palm Sunday?  Read Zechariah 9:9 and Philippians 2:8. How does Jesus' humility provide "the things that make for peace"? (Luke 19:42)

5. Lastly, a way to keep faith with Palm Sunday is to begin to truly love His people.  Consider again Luke 19:41 in the story.  Jesus has great compassion over His people.  How can we cooperate with His Spirit to that same end in us?  Pray, and ask the Lord to grow in us more the heart of Christ. 

6. In regards to Palm Sunday, Jean said, "I want more from this day than three points in an outline."  Her desire is to truly live a life of worship to Jesus as the King.  What does that look like for you, for us?  Prayerfully consider how God is calling you to respond.

7. This week, in preparation for Good Friday and Easter, read John 18-20.  What stands out to you?  What about Jesus stands out to you?  What might He be saying to you?
