This week is one of the most historical weeks of History! Do you know why? Throughout this week Jesus prepares to be crucified on the cross and resurrect the third day of death. Throughout His preparation, He shares truth and teaches His disciples. I am going to tell you about what Jesus has done throught this week now! We call this week Holy Week (you can learn about all this in John chapter 13):
Day 1- Palm Sunday
This is the day that Jesus entered Jerusalem; the place He would be crucified. People put out palms of Jesus to walk on and cried to Him "Hosanna."
Day 2- Maunday Thursday
This is the day Jesus gave a new commandment to His disciples. It was "Love one another as I have loved You." He demonstrated this command by washing His disciples feet. Today, Judas (one of Jesus' disciples) betrayed Jesus. Today Peter also denies Jesus by claiming He does not know Him or walk with Him.
Day 3- Good Friday
This is the day Jesus dies on the cross. (The people who were crying "Hosanna" to Jesus on Sunday, were also screaming "crucify Him!" this day.)
Day 4- Holy Saturday
This is the full day that Jesus is in the grave.
Day 5- Resurrection Sunday (Easter)
This is the day Jesus rose from the grave! Happy Easter!
(John 20: 1-14)
I wish you all a happy Easter! Remember why we celebrate this day and thank God for sending Jesus to save us! Comment below, I love hearing from you all!
