This is Easter Sunday, the first day of the week, the day of resurrection. Following the horror of Jesus’ arrest and betrayal, following the brutality of His torture and trials climaxing in His crucifixion and death, following the silence and stillness of the cold, lifeless tomb, Sunday brought the spiritual equivalent of a nuclear explosion. Because Jesus rose from the dead! He’s alive! He’s alive! Listen to the Biblical description LISTEN: https://www.annegrahamlotz.org/easter-sunday-holy-week-scr/

This is Saturday. Saturday was a bleak day. A day of silence and stillness. A day when Jesus was isolated, confined. A day when God, literally, was dead. Yet the enemies of Jesus were very nervous and wanted to make sure He stayed dead and buried... LISTEN: https://www.annegrahamlotz.org/saturday-holy-week-scriptur/ Use this day to meditate on your salvation. How can you and I ever thank God for the price He paid for our redemption? The only appropriate response is to give Him our hearts...and our lives!

Friday was horrific! The only reason it could be called good is because it was on this day that the Lamb of God was sacrificed to make atonement for your sin and for mine. Hebrews 9:22 states emphatically: Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. It was on Friday that Jesus shed His blood for our forgiveness. On His way to the Cross, He was subjected to three religious trials: one before Annas the former High Priest, one before Caiaphas the acting High Priest, ...and one before the full Sanhedrin. He then was put through three Roman trials; one before Pilate the Roman Governor, one before Herod the Galilean king, then back to Pilate. In a moment we will pick up our story with Mark’s summary of the Roman trials, but first, let’s take a moment to consider a drama that played out during the religious trials of Jesus. While Jesus was being slapped, spit upon, and mocked inside the Palace of the High Priest, outside: LISTEN: https://www.annegrahamlotz.org/good-friday-holy-week-scrip/

If Wednesday was a time of rest in Bethany for Jesus, Thursday was the opposite. It was an intense time as the Cross drew nearer. On Thursday, Jesus celebrated Passover, He taught His disciples, He prayed in Gethsemane, then allowed Himself to be betrayed by one of His own disciples and arrested by soldiers sent by the religious leaders. Let’s enter into Thursday... LISTEN: https://www.annegrahamlotz.org/maundy-thursday-holy-week-s/

This is Wednesday. There is no Biblical record of what Jesus and His disciples did on Wednesday of Holy Week. It is assumed He may have stayed in Bethany to rest, surrounded by friends who loved Him and believed in Him. Several days earlier, following the raising of Lazarus from the dead, Jesus attended a dinner in Bethany that was apparently held in His honor. It was served in the home of Simon, identified as a leper, whom Jesus must have previously cleansed. The Bible gives us a glimpse of a very beautiful and meaningful scene that took place there: LISTEN: https://www.annegrahamlotz.org/wednesday-holy-week-scriptu/
