Q11.
a.
What might show you that Jesus possibly already knew the owner of the colt?
Jesus
sent two disciples to find a donkey and her colt which no one has ever ridden.

Q12. (Challenge) Give at least two
prophecies that Jesus’ triumphal entry

your Bible.
Zechariah 9:9, Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout,

Psalm 118:26, Blessed
is the one who comes in the name of the LORD; We have blessed you from the
house of the LORD.
Isaiah 56:7, those I
will bring to My holy mountain And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Jeremiah 7:11, Has this house, which bears my
Name, become a den of robbers to
you? But I have been watching!
Psalm 8:2 Through
the praise of children and infants
you
have established a stronghold against your enemies, to
silence the foe and the avenger.
Q13.
a.
What did Jesus say was a main purpose of the temple? (See Matthew 21:13.)
My house will be called a
house of prayer.
b. How is the word “temple” used in
the following verses?
John 2:18-22 The
Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority
to do all this?” 19 Jesus
answered them, “Destroy this temple, and
I will raise it again in three days.”
20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six 46 years to build this temple,
and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had
said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
The
temple is Jesus’ body.
1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit,
who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
Our
bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 2:21–22 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a
holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in
which God lives by his Spirit.
In
Jesus the temples of our bodies joined together and rises to become a holy
temple in which God lives by His Spirit.
c. (Challenge) Read Titus 3:5 and 1
John 1:7-9; 3:24. How does Christ cleanse the “temple of our body” in which the
Holy Spirit lives today?
Titus 3:5
5 he saved us, not
because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy
Spirit,
1 John 1:7-9
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
8 If we claim to
be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 3:24
24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him,
and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives
in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
1. The Holy Spirit cleanses
the temple of our bodies through the washing of rebirth and renewal.
2. We should walk in the light
and have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus purifies us
from all sin.
3. We should confess our sins and
Jesus will forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness.
4.
The Spirit will let us know that Jesus lives in us if we live in Him.
