19:1–10 Jesus saves Zacchaeus by visiting him with mercy. Followers of Jesus dare never begrudge the mercy others have received. The Gospel can save one sinner who repents just as well as another. The saving love of Jesus seeks and reaches out to all people. • Lord, in Your name, we welcome all who repent and share in the forgiveness we have received. Grant us willing hearts to share the Gospel freely. Amen.
19:1-10 耶稣怜悯撒该，拜访他的家，拯救了他。耶稣的追随者永远不应该抱怨别人得到的怜悯。福音可以拯救一个悔改的罪人，也可以拯救另一个悔改的罪人。耶稣的救赎之爱会寻找并向所有人伸出援手。- 主啊，奉你的名，我们欢迎所有悔改的人，分享我们所得到的赦免。请赐予我们一颗愿意自由分享福音的心。阿们。
19:11–27 Our returning King will abolish all opposition to His kingdom and will honor those who faithfully served Him. Never take God’s Word for granted, hoarding the gifts you have received. Christ calls you to share His Word faithfully, and He is ever generous and merciful toward you. His gifts work effectively in your life, and, through you, in the lives of others. • Grant, O generous Lord, that we may always remain faithful in our stewardship of Your gifts. Amen.
19:11-27 我们将要再来的王将废除一切反对祂国度的势力，并将荣耀加给那些忠心侍奉祂的人。永远不要把上帝的话语视为理所当然，囤积你所得到的礼物。基督呼召你忠实地分享祂的话语，祂对你永远慷慨仁慈。祂的恩赐会在你的生命中有效地发挥作用，并通过你在他人的生命中发挥作用。- 慷慨的主啊，求你让我们在管理你的礼物时始终保持忠诚。阿们。
19:28–40 Jesus fulfills OT prophecy and is acclaimed the messianic King. Take joy in the reign of your Savior, who answers prayers with wonder and grants abiding peace. • “O Lord, how shall I meet You, How welcome You aright? Your people long to greet You, My hope, my heart’s delight!” Amen. (LSB 334:1)
19:28-40 耶稣实现了《罗马书》的预言，被尊为弥赛亚王。在救世主的统治中喜乐吧，祂奇妙地回应祷告，赐予永恒的平安。- 主啊，我该如何迎接你？你的子民渴望迎接你，我的希望，我心中的喜悦！" 阿们。(路德宗崇拜书 334:1)
19:41–44 Jesus weeps over Jerusalem’s present blindness and future fate. His heart still breaks for those who have not yet received His Word. Pray for your family, friends, and neighbors, that they would receive Jesus, who came in compassion to seek and save the lost. • “Ride on, ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die. Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain, Then take, O God, Thy pow’r and reign.” Amen. (LSB 441:5)
19:41-44 耶稣为耶路撒冷现在的盲目和未来的命运而哭泣。祂仍然为那些尚未接受祂话语的人心碎。要为你的家人、朋友和邻居祷告，好让他们接受耶稣，祂满怀怜悯地来寻找和拯救失丧的人。- 骑着马，威严地骑着马！以卑微的姿态去赴死。"低下你温顺的头颅，接受死亡的痛苦" "上帝啊，你要显大能并且要掌权" 阿们。（路德宗崇拜书 441: 5）
19:45–48 Jesus goes directly to the temple to cleanse it for proper services: the hearing of God’s Word. Today, beware of worldly distractions from the Lord’s Word. Hang on to it, for Jesus cleanses our hearts by faith in His Holy Word. • Cleanse us, O Savior, from everything that would separate us from Your Holy Word and Your gracious reign. Amen.
19:45-48 耶稣直接前往圣殿，洁净圣殿，以便开展适当的礼拜：聆听上帝的话语。今天，要谨防世俗的干扰，因为它要我们远离主的话语。紧紧抓住主的话语，因为耶稣通过我们对祂圣言的信靠洁净了我们的心灵。- 救世主啊，洁净我们，使我们远离一切使我们与你的圣言和你的仁慈统治分离的事物。阿们。
20:1–8 Jesus would not allow detractors to take away His right to teach in the temple. His teaching still commands authority and priority today over all other teaching. Subject all things to His reign and the wisdom of His Word. Pray for bold faith that rightly honors Christ and His prophets. He claims you as His holy temple, that He may rule your heart in forgiveness, peace, and love. • “ ‘Hosanna in the highest!’ That ancient song we sing; For Christ is our Redeemer, The Lord of heav’n our King. Oh, may we ever praise Him With heart and life and voice And in His blissful presence Eternally rejoice!” Amen. (LSB 443:3)
20:1-8 耶稣不允许诋毁者剥夺祂在圣殿中教导的权利。今天，祂的教导仍然具有权威性，优先于所有其他教导。让一切都服从祂的统治和祂话语的智慧。为自己拥有勇敢的信心祷告，使其正确地尊崇基督和祂的先知。祂称你为祂的圣殿，让祂在宽恕、平安和爱中掌管你的心。- "'和散那在至高之处！' 我们唱着这首古老的歌；因为基督是我们的救赎主，是天上的主，是我们的王。哦，愿我们永远用心、用生命、用歌声赞美祂，在祂幸福的同在中永远欢欣！" 阿们。 (路德宗崇拜书443:3)
20:9–18 By parable and psalm, Jesus warns against rejecting the Messiah. God’s mission in Christ will succeed; we reject it at our great peril. Despite all opposition, God will build His Church on the crucified and resurrected Jesus. • O God, grant that we may always build our heavenly hope on the one sure cornerstone You have provided, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
20:9-18 耶稣通过比喻和诗歌警告我们不要拒绝弥赛亚。上帝在基督里的使命必将成功；我们拒绝它，后果将不堪设想。尽管有种种反对，上帝仍把祂的教会建立在被钉十字架并复活的耶稣身上。- 上帝啊，求你赐福我们，让我们永远把属天的盼望建立在你所提供的一块稳固的基石上，我们的主耶稣基督。阿们。
20:19–26 Jesus outwits His opponents and teaches the proper relationship between earthly authority and God. Not even the legitimate claims of government usurp our loyalty to God. Jesus’ perfect allegiance to His Father brought the state’s condemnation, that He might forgive our divided allegiance. • Lord, grant that we may serve You faithfully as citizens in this world. Amen.
20:19-26 耶稣智胜对手，教导世俗权威与上帝之间的正确关系。即使是政府的合法要求也不能篡夺我们对上帝的忠诚。耶稣对天父的完美效忠受到政权的谴责，好让祂可以宽恕我们对祂的不忠。- 主啊，请赐予我们恩典，使我们作为这个世界的公民忠心地侍奉你。阿们。
20:27–40 Jesus demonstrates that the Lord is the God of the living. The patriarchs, though dead from an earthly perspective, are still alive with God. Our human reason dare not come between us and God’s sure promises. Jesus’ certain resurrection shows that He is our living God and hope of life. • I praise You, Lord of life, for the resurrection promised in Your Word. Grant me faithfulness unto the Last Day. Amen.
20:27-40 耶稣表明，主是活人的神。从尘世的角度来看，先祖们虽然死了，但他们在上帝那里仍然活着。我们人类的理性万不可抵挡上帝确实的应许。耶稣毫无质疑的复活事件表明，祂是我们永生的上帝和生命的希望。- 我赞美你，生命之主，因你话语中应许的复活。请赐我忠心，直到末日。阿们。
20:41–44 Only the incarnation can answer Jesus’ question. He is both man, David’s son, and God, David’s Lord. Reason dare not reduce the truths of Scripture. David’s son has become our Lord through His death and resurrection, and the Father has exalted Jesus to His right hand. • “Hail him, ye heirs of David’s line, Whom David Lord did call, The God incarnate, man divine, And crown Him Lord of all.” Amen. (LSB 549:4)
20:41-44 只有道成肉身这一历史事件才能回答耶稣的问题。他既是人，大卫的儿子，又是神，大卫的主。理性万不可贬低圣经的真理。大卫的儿子通过祂的死和复活成为了我们的主，天父将耶稣升到了祂的右手边。- "大卫的后裔们，向祂欢呼吧，他是大卫的主，是上帝成为人，是神人，为祂加冕，祂是万有之主" 阿们。（路德宗崇拜书549：4）
20:45–47 Jesus warns His disciples not to be impressed by the scribes’ display. Do not practice the faith simply to impress others. In contrast, for your salvation, Jesus “made Himself nothing, taking the form of a servant. . . . He humbled Himself” (Php 2:7–8). • Lord, grant me the humility and mind of Christ. Amen.
20:45-47 耶稣警告门徒不要被文士的光鲜外表所迷惑。不要仅仅为了给别人留下好印象而实践信仰。相反，为了拯救你们，耶稣 "虚己，取了奴仆的形象. . .自己卑微"（腓2:7-8）。- 主啊，请赐予我基督的谦卑和心胸。阿们。
