This week we walked with Christ through His week of Passion by simply talking through the scriptural accounts given us of that fateful week. What is in this post is simply a single illustrations and a bullet point of the key discussion points found in the audio recording.
Though far from a thorough covering of the subject, the night went well and we were encouraged all the more to walk through this week with Him, being mindful of our Lord… the events of Good Friday AND the following Resurrection on Easter Day!
We began with a look at the events leading up to His triumphant entry into Jerusalem and then quickly moved to Monday in the week of the Passion, when Christ drove the money changers out of the temple.
Apparently the Court of the Gentiles’ where this incursion took place was huge. At it’s widest point, it was more than 300 yds. The length of the Court from North to South was just under 600 yds. Though the measurements are not precise, one can simply imagine approximately 6 football fields running 2 deep and 3 long to conceptualize the enormity of the size.
The Court of the Gentiles would be better than double that size!
(Yes I know that a football field is only 120 yards by 53 1/3 yards but this is for illustrative purposes only).
The events of the week which we covered were...
- Zacchaeus was converted – Luke 19:1-10
- Cleansing of the Temple – Matt. 21:12-16
- Jesus weeps over the city and calls Israel bind – Luke 19:41-48
- Jesus is questioned about His authority and offers a parable condemning the scribes and chief priests – Luke 20:1-19
- Comparison made of the blindness of the Jews due to their unbelief and that which can yet happen to the Gentiles for the same reasons – Romans 11:1-22
The week of the Passion is a powerful study in scripture covering a large panorama of events and teachings which led to the crucifixion of our Lord. I hope you have enjoyed walking through these passages with us and as a result learned more clearly what God has to say to us concerning our own passion to do the will of our Father…Blessings!
I hope this teaching will challenge you and encourage you to place your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
