How Jesus fulfilled his mission in Jerusalem

Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey to symbolize that he was the messiah out to bring peace to the people
He cleansed the temple/purified Jewish religion
An Gethsemane, Jesus prayed that God may remove the cup of suffering but gave preference to the will of God
During His triumphant entry, people spread their clothes on the road and proclaimed him as king
Riding on the donkey signified that Jesus was humble, spiritual messiah and not political messiah expected by the Jews.
Jesus suffered and died in Jerusalem just as it had been foretold

With reference to the parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk. 10:25-11:1-13), identify six characteristics of a committed follower of Jesus Christ

LUKE 10:25

Luke 10:25 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
25 And then a certain lawyer arose to try (test, tempt) Him, saying, Teacher, what am I to do to inherit everlasting life [that is, to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]?

LUKE 11:1-13

Luke 11:1-13 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
11 Then He was praying in a certain place; and when He stopped, one of His disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray, [just] as John taught his disciples.
2 And He said to them, When you pray, say: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come. Your will be done [held holy and revered] on earth as it is in heaven.
3 Give us daily our bread [food for the morrow].
4 And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us [who has offended us or done us wrong]. And bring us not into temptation but rescue us from evil.
5 And He said to them, Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and will say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves [of bread],
6 For a friend of mine who is on a journey has just come, and I have nothing to put before him;
7 And he from within will answer, Do not disturb me; the door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and supply you [with anything]?
8 I tell you, although he will not get up and supply him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his shameless persistence and insistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
9 So I say to you, Ask and keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you.
10 For everyone who asks and keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks and keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks and keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened.
11 What father among you, if his son asks for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone; or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts [gifts that are to their advantage] to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him!
