这段讲道探讨了路加福音中耶稣最后一周的生活,重点关注耶稣的君王身份及其对人们生活的影响。布道者指出,耶稣是真正的君王,他的统治具有改变人的能力,他的君王身份充满悖论,同时也是对抗性的。 首先,耶稣是真正的君王,是弥赛亚,是最终的、至高的君王。他进入耶路撒冷的方式,骑着一匹从未被人骑过的驹子,象征着他谦卑和牺牲的本质。这与人们对君王的传统印象形成对比,突显了他君王身份的悖论性。 其次,耶稣是位具有改变能力的君王,他的统治会改变人,医治人的恐惧,恢复人的潜能。他进入圣殿,驱逐商贩,表明他自己就是圣殿、祭司和终极的祭物,他的统治会使万物恢复其应有的状态。 再次,耶稣是一位对抗性的君王,他迫使人们做出选择:加冕他或杀死他。他进入耶路撒冷的方式,以及他在圣殿中的行为,都表明了他对自身身份的坚定主张,以及他对人们的挑战。他要求人们完全接纳他或完全拒绝他,没有中间地带。 最后,布道者总结道,成为基督徒意味着完全接纳耶稣为生命的主,而不是仅仅喜欢他。耶稣的君王身份是多方面的,他既是谦卑的,又是强大的;既是温柔的,又是刚强的。跟随耶稣,意味着接纳他全部的形象,并成为一个兼具力量和温柔的人。

Shownotes Transcript

The last week of Jesus’ life addresses not just our minds or our wills, but our hearts. We are to see Jesus, to meet Jesus. 

As Luke shows us the last days of Jesus’ life, all the doctrines and themes will be narratively depicted in the most vivid way. They’re driven home so we can really see Jesus and have an existential encounter with him. 

Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem shows us who he is, what he can do for us, why he can do it, and how he can do it. In other words, it shows us 1) he’s the actual king, 2) he’s the transformational king, 3) he’s the paradoxical king, and 4) he’s the confrontational king.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 30, 2003. Series: The Meaning of Jesus Part 3; Seeing Him. Scripture: Luke 19:28-40; 45-48.
