LUKE 19:28-42

"THIS THY DAY"

I. THE DAY LOOKED FORWARD TO BY ALL ISREAL.
        A. A Messiah was promised to Adam.
                1. His life and ministry foretold by Prophets.
                        a. Zech. 513 B.C. King cometh.
                        b. Dan. 538 B.C. Told very day.
        B. People had been looking for Him.
                1. This was their day.
                        a. Day of deliverance.
                        b. Day of Hope
                        c. Day of Salvation.
                2. First day Jesus allowed public worship.

II. JERUSALEM MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY.
        A. They rejected their Savior.
                1. Desolation was foretold.
        B. Every man is given a day.
                1. To reject is to invite disaster.
                2. How tragic to miss God's day for our lives.
        C. Other triumphant marches.
                1. Pompey.
                2. German Emperor Franco - Prussian war.
                3. Jesus.

III. STEPS ARE FEW BETWEEN TRIUMPH AND CROSS. AS DANIEL SAID THE MESSIAH WAS TO BE CUT OFF,
     BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF.
