WEEK 8- SHARE AND REPORT

1. Overview of the last week of the Saviors Mortal Ministry

DAY1- Arrives in Jerusalem. Rode in on a donkey. There was a great multitude of people there to see him, and knew he was “the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee”. Shouted  “Hosanna in the highest.” Retired in Bethany.

DAY2- The Savior challenges the Jews leadership by waking up early and going to the Temple and drive out the merchants and money changers. Later retired to Bethany.

DAY3- The priest of the temple didn’t like what happened, so the next day Jesus returns the temple, and the priest question his authority. Jesus replies in parables. After this point Jesus no longer teaches the public, but only the 12. The Jewish leaders plotted the death of Jesus, and one of the 12 volunteered to assist.

DAY4- Jesus knew of the plot. He spent the day outside perhaps the city Bethany.

DAY5- Jesus sets up a Passover Meal privately with the 12. He introduces the ordinance of the sacrament. And prophesies his death, and the betrayal. Offers the great intercessory prayer. Judas left. Jesus took the 11 to the outside walls of Gethsemane. Took Peter, James, and John with him further into the Garden, and He went off to pray. Pled with the Father to “let this cup pass from me...” Cup did not pass and Jesus suffered the pains of all men. Bled from every pore. Judas and a mob approach and take Jesus to trial.

DAY6- Jesus is charged with 2 crimes, blasphemy, and a capitol offender of Jewish law. Solely convicted of these changers on him calling himself the Son of God, and King of the Jews. Pilate knew Jesus was not guilty of these charges but the Jews led the people in riot to kill Jesus. Jesus’s crucifixion sentence is pronounced. By Roman practice Jesus was crucified. Jesus gave up his spirit voluntarily. Next day was Passover and the Saviors body was taken down and placed in a tomb but town revering disciples.

DAY7- Jewish Sabbath, and Jesus’s body remained in the tomb. We know that he ministered in the realm of departed spirits.

DAY OF THE RESURRECTION- “good news”=Gospel. Christ if risen and showed himself unto many witnesses. Mary was the first to see him. John 20:31.
