Day of Resurrection
|
|
Arrived in Jerusalem. Rode the colt into the city. Went to the temple.
|
Cleared out the temple, which challenged Jewish leadership, Jesus
Returned to Bethany.
|
Clearing the temple raised problems with the priests. Jesus is
question and answers in parables. He condemns the Pharisees. Jesus did not teach the public, only to the
12.
|
Jesus knew of the Plot to kill him, he stayed outside the city. Not much is known of this day.
|
Arranged the Passover, introduced the sacrament, and prophesied his
death. Offered the intercessory
prayer. Entered Gethsemane, completed the
Atonement, rejoined the Apostles. He was betrayed and put on trial.
|
Jesus is charged with blasphemy.
Pilot found Jesus guiltless.
But by this time the Pharisees had riled up the crowd to have the
intention to kill Jesus. He is
crucified.
|
Jewish Sabbath. Jesus remained
in the tomb.
|
Jesus was resurrected. He
appeared to many to bear witness that he indeed was the son of God.
|
The Savior lived his life guiltless, he was regarded as a
prophet and by some as who he really was, the Son Of God. Those who betrayed him that day who were in
the crowd shouting to crucify him were clearly not in the right state of
mind. I was told a story once of someone
who attended and armature UFC match realate the experience quite well.
He told of watching a match where one man clearly dominated
the other. The beaten man was on the
ground on all fours bleeding. He had
clearly given up. Yet, the crowd who had
come to see more action, not a match as short as this started to yell; “Kill
him!, Kill him!”. No one in this crowd
when taken to the side individually would ever advise that one good man should
kill another. In a group though, many
individuals can allow satan to influence them in horrible ways if they are not
careful. May I always stay away from
crowds that stand a chance of influencing me in such a horrible way.
When I look at the crucifixion in this light, I have a
little easier time understanding why the Lord would say “forgive them, for the
know not what they do”.
