 This is Easter Week, later today many of us are going to participate in the Stations of the Cross. As you participate I hope you see that everything Jesus did was done with purpose. I think it is very easy for us to go through this entire week and then suddenly have Easter come upon us. My challenge to you this week is that you don't let Easter catch you by surprise but rather you carefully consider this week and walk alongside Jesus realizing that everything he did was on purpose.

		+	====First, we make this week a contemplative week.====

		+	We have the opportunity this week to reflect carefully on the life Jesus lived while here on the Earth.
		+
		+	====Second, we choose to accept Jesus as Lord!====
		+
		+	As you reflect on Jesus I expect you to be struck by the notion that Jesus is nothing short of Lord. The consequence of this is that we must without question submit to his Lordship over our life.

		+	As we submit to Christ we will be drawn to know him better so that when he returns we will recognize him. That is, we set proper expectations.

+I teach math and unfortunately, there are times when students fail math. But let me tell you, such events are painful for me. I know that many of you are teachers and one thing that I have found common among teachers is that we really do not like to fail students. Some of the hardest conversations I have had happened at the end of the semester when a student comes in and tells me that they are sorry to have let me down. A student will tell me that at the beginning of the semester when I told them what they needed to do to be successful they just didn't believe me, they didn't expect that taking those steps would really work.

-I teach math, I am going to say something slightly controversial. I have met very few people who are "bad" at math. I have met a bunch of people who never learned to study math well. I am serious, you might not believe me. I have met so many students who come to me and tell me they are just bad at math so I ask them to show me how to do a problem. They begin, get stuck, I give them some advice on how to learn something and they leave and never take the advice. After a few weeks, they come and tell me they wish they had tried my way. I think that it is the same with our life. We hear how God wants us to live, decide that sounds like a lot of work, do our own thing, then come back to God and say it isn't working.

-I can just picture this. The Pharisees are offended. Psalm 118 is a royal psalm and Zacheriah was clearly Messianic. To be alluding to both of these passages was explosive.

 ====Luke-Acts ->Historiography ====
 In his first volume, Luke traces the Story of God's work from the birth of Jesus and moving toward Jerusalem. In Acts Luke traces God's work through the Church moving from Jerusalem out to the world. Therefore, when we talk about the Triumphal entry in Luke 19:28-44 we are talking about the introduction to the climax of the Gospel. In Luke's writing, this is the beginning of the point on which his entire history hangs.
 In fact, for humanity, we might argue that Luke 19:28-44 is the fulcrum on which all of history sits. Luke 19:28-44 introduces us to the week that forever changed history.

+====The People Expected Messiah to Free them from Rome====
-A reader of Luke might recall the prophecies of Zechariah 14 where the LORD himself fights against the enemies of Jerusalem standing on the Mount of olives. However, unlike the prophecies of Zechariah, King Jesus is coming not to deliver Jerusalem from her enemies but humanity from sin. Jesus will come again to fulfill the prophecies of Zechariah, but at this time Jesus has a far more important purpose in mind. This is a case where expectations might prevent someone from seeing what is really happening.

Moreover, in his perfect knowledge, Jesus knew that his disciples would face questioning and encouraged them to simply respond that he (Jesus ) needed the animal.
