Lesson #16 began with Discourse #4, the Charge andAuthority of the Church (E) and it continued the heros
journey motif as Jesus left Galilee and headed toward
Jerusalem and the cross (D), his final test.
As the heros journey continued, Jesus probed ever-deeperinto what it means to be the Messiah, the Son of Godfor
him, for his disciples, and by implication, for us.

In Lesson #17 Jesus and his disciples, followed by a huge crowd,
ascend the old Roman Road from Jericho (900 below sea level) toJerusalem (2,500above sea level).
As he summits the Mount of Olives, Jesus enters Jerusalem on the
most crowded day of the year, the beginning of Passover, A.D. 32
the largest of three annual pilgrimage festivals, during which the
population of Jerusalem swells from 100,000 to 1,000,000 people.
Jesus enters Jerusalem, not as a humble servant, but as a king to
the cheers of thousands: Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is
he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest!
(21: 9). At a time of escalating political tension; at a time ofmounting religious turbulence; at a time of civil terrorismJesus
actions are utterly incendiary.
And then he lights a match.

1. Is there any evidence in Matthew to suggest that
Jesus staged his entry into Jerusalem?
2. What connotations does Jesus, of Nazareth
carry?
3. Given the very public nature of Jesus arrival, what
might the Roman and Jewish authorities have
thought?
4. What did Jesus hope to accomplish by cleansing
the Temple?5. How would you describe Jesus attitude toward
the religious leaders in Jerusalem?
