Stones Along the Road
Students may read Luke 19:28-40
On Sunday morning, Jesus began his final journey into Jerusalem. He chose to ride a colt of a donkey for this occasion. A joyful crowd followed along, waving leafy branches and shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” When he neared the city, some Pharisees came out from the noisy crowd saying, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” Jesus replied, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.” We remember this day as Palm Sunday.
Discussion Questions
Why did the Pharisees tell Jesus to rebuke his disciples? What do you think Jesus meant by the answer he gave? The people who saw Jesus that day were joyful and full of adoration for Jesus. What is it like to adore someone?
