Life Application • Jesus is to be praised as the Passover lamb slain for the sins of the world. • Jesus is to be received as the King who gives a blood-bought peace (Luke 19:11-27). • Put on a heart of compassion for the lost. • Worship is a sacred trust, where self-serving business has no place. • Jesus is very serious about prayer in His Father’s house. We should be serious as well.
