We will be blessed if we read, study, meditate and pray about the events of this Holy Week as
recorded in Scripture. I’m listing the events of Sunday through Friday. Meditate
on His life as you read through these events.
Jesus “Triumphal Entry” into
Jerusalem occurred on Sunday with Jesus riding on a donkey fulfilling Zechariah
9:9’s prophesy. “Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem
On Monday Jesus is anointed (for burial) at
Bethany (John 12:1-9) and he clears the temple of the money changers. (Matthew
21:12-13, Mark 11:15 -18,
Luke 19:45-48)
On Tuesday His authority is
questioned. Matt. 21:23-27, Mark 11:27 -33,
Luke 20:1-8. And Jesus teaches in the temple. Matt. 21:28-23:39 , Mark 12:1-44, Luke 20:9-21:4.
On Wednesday Judas plots
against Jesus. Matt. 26:14-16, Mark 14:10 -11,
Luke 22:3-6
On Thursday Jesus and His
disciples eat the Passover meal, the Last Supper, the first Communion. Matt.
26:17-29, Mark 14:12 -25,
Luke 22:7-38, John 13:1-38. Jesus says to his disciples “This is my body,
broken for you, do this in remembrance of me.” In John 14:1-16:33, He comforts
the disciples, and in John 17:1-26 He gives His high priestly prayer, praying
for them and for us – for our unity in Him.
In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus sweat blood
and tears. Matt. 26:36-46, Mark 14:32-42, Luke 22:40-46 He prayed “Let this cup
pass from me, nevertheless, not my will but yours be done.”
Then he’s arrested and tried – Matthew 26:47-27:26, Mark 14:43-15:15, Luke 22:47-23:25, John
18:2-19:16. Pilate said, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.” Luke
23:4
On Friday he’s crucified –
Matt. 27:27-56, Mark 15:16-41, Luke 23:26-49, John 19:17-37. Jesus prayed,
“Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34 And He’s buried – Matt. 27:57-66, Mark 15:42-47,
Luke 23:50-56, John 19:38-42 Joseph of Arimathea went to Pilate and asked for
Jesus body. “Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a
tomb cut in the rock.” Luke 23:53
This is a holy week with
much to ponder about Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Blessings in Christ, Dottie
