In Matthew 20, 21, and 22, the scene begins to change. In Matthew 20, Jesus once again predicts His death and resurrection. In Matthew 21, Jesus enters Jerusalem and cleanses the temple. In Matthew 22, the Pharisees turn up the heat on their plots to arrest Jesus while His parables speak more about the eternal Kingdom. The miracles and healings take a back seat to the teaching and signs of the impending Cross, resurrection, and perfected Kingdom that is to come.
What stands out to you from these three chapters? What verse(s) really speaks to you? What verse(s) requires the biggest adjustment in order for you to live more like Jesus?

Matthew 21:10 says that when Jesus entered Jerusalem all the city was stirred. This verse reminded me that Columbia needs to be stirred up and my responsibility is to find God at work in Columbia and stir the pot! We're not called to be passive but active. Christ certainly was not passive.
