Praise of Jesus’ Disciples "Peace in heaven..."

Praise of Jesus’ Disciples

"Peace in heaven

and glory in the highest"

Jesus’ disciples offered praise with the same content (Luke 19:35-38).

• Luke 19:35-38

The whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:38 "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

Having heard this word, the snakes (Matthew 23:33), the Pharisees said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" Jesus replied to them, "I tell you. If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."

As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes” (Luke 19:41-42). He continued on saying, “The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you” (refer to Luke 19:43-44; Mt 24:1-2).

Because of this word Jesus was teaching, the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the leaders among the people were looking for the means to kill Jesus (Luke 19:47-48). Is today not like this?

Jesus Proclaimed Peace in the Bible

 

Jesus

Proclaimed

Peace

in the Bible

 

• Zec 9:9-10

Rejoice greatly,
Daughter Zion!
Shout,
Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly
and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.  
I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and the warhorses
from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be broken.
He will proclaim peace to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.

• Luk 19:33-42

As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them,
“Why are you untying the colt?”  
They replied, “The Lord needs it.”  
They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it.
As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.  
When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:  
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” 
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”  
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus,
“Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”   
 “I tell you,” he replied, “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”   
As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.

Jesus entered Jerusalem riding
on a colt and proclaimed peace
(Zec 9:9-10 → Lk 19:33-42) according to
the promises of the Bible(Old Testament)
