Thy Strong Word From Kfuo Radio

Jesus enters Jerusalem as a humble king, riding on a donkey in fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy, as crowds shout "Hosanna!" He immediately goes to the temple and cleanses it by force. He turns over the tables and cracks a whip while driving out the moneychangers and declaring, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers." The next day, He curses a barren fig tree, a living parable of the judgment to come upon a fruitless Israel that has rejected its King.  The Rev. Dr. Curtis Deterding, senior pastor of Zion Lutheran Church, Fort Myers, FL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 21:1-22.  To learn more about Zion Lutheran, visit zionfm.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who
