祈祷者:祈祷者祈求上帝赋予他像耶稣一样的领导力,能够坚定地履行上帝的旨意,并在适当的时机展现自己的才能,效法耶稣的谦卑和信心。 Dr. Tony Evans: 本集是耶稣受难周的开始,他将以君王般的气势进入耶路撒冷,但并非人们预期的那样。耶稣在临近受难的最后日子里,仍然继续侍奉病人、穷人和受压迫者,并挑战法利赛人,展现了他无所畏惧的品格。耶路撒冷的宗教领袖们密谋杀害耶稣,但他们的计划却完美地符合了耶稣的计划。 叙述者:耶路撒冷的宗教领袖们密谋杀害耶稣,他们认为耶稣的继续活动会威胁到他们的地位,并可能招致罗马人的惩罚。他们计划利用耶稣身边的人来逮捕他。耶稣在撒玛利亚的一个村庄里侍奉穷人和患麻风病的人,展现了他的怜悯和医治能力。其中一个被医治的麻风病人回过头来感谢耶稣,展现了真正的感恩。耶稣教导人们要谦卑地来到上帝面前,并用比喻说明上帝会回应那些坚持不懈地祈求的人的祷告。他用法利赛人和税吏的例子说明了谦卑的重要性。一个富有的年轻统治者来问耶稣怎样才能得到永生,耶稣告诉他需要卖掉所有的财产去帮助穷人,跟随他。这个年轻人因为无法割舍自己的财富而离开了。耶稣预言了自己的受难和复活,他的门徒们虽然不明白,但仍然感到平静。耶稣的门徒雅各和约翰的母亲请求耶稣让她的儿子们在他掌权后坐在他的左右手边,耶稣告诫他们要为他的苦难做好准备。耶稣教导他的门徒,真正的伟大在于谦卑地服侍他人,而不是追求地位和权力。耶稣进入耶路撒冷,受到群众的热烈欢迎,他们把他当作弥赛亚迎接,但耶稣的到来并非人们所期望的那样,他将面临更大的挑战。一个名叫巴提迈的盲人乞丐在耶稣进入耶路撒冷时,大声呼喊求耶稣怜悯他,最终获得了医治,并跟随了耶稣。撒该,一个税吏,为了见到耶稣爬上了一棵桑树,耶稣邀请他到他家里做客,撒该悔改并承诺要施舍一半的财产给穷人,并偿还他所欺诈的四倍。耶稣在西门家里与门徒们共进晚餐,马利亚用贵重的香膏膏抹耶稣,犹大对此表示不满,耶稣则指出马利亚的举动是出于爱,而犹大的不满是出于贪婪。耶稣预备进入耶路撒冷,他骑着一匹小驴,受到群众的欢迎,法利赛人则试图阻止。

Chapter 14 of Heroes in the Bible: Jesus) with Dr. Tony Evans is inspired by the Gospels.

The Beginning of the End - The Triumphal Entry and driving out of the temple. An entry fit for a king. Crowds cheering and calling for him to take the throne, yet there is a darkness lurking behind the scenes.

Today's opening prayer is inspired by Matthew 21:9,* And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.*
