Holy Week: Sunday Reading: Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:41-44 This is no normal week for Christians...this is Holy Week and we want to take some time to remember the final week of Jesus' life. From the Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday to the cross on Good Friday and of course the resurrection on Easter Sunday...this is a big week. So each day, we'll post scriptures that describe Jesus' last week in real time so that you can take some time to read, study, meditate on and worship Him through it all. Today we want to remember that at the time of Jesus' arrival, Jerusalem was in a place of great tension. On one hand, rumors of a social uprising had begun to spread because of the Roman occupation. On the other hand the religious leaders had put out the word that they wanted Jesus dead because they wanted to remain in Roman favor. And so at the beginning of the week, Jesus, unafraid of what awaited him, chooses a humble donkey to ride into the Holy City, demonstrating not only his position as the prophesied King and Messiah but the kind of King and Messiah He was going to be: one of humility and peace. And yet, alongside of the crowds cheers of "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" Jesus the King shed his tears. As Jesus approached Jerusalem, his holy heart broke because the people He loved and came to save missed the point. He didn't come to set them free from Roman tyranny, He came to set them free from their sins and He knew that the same voices shouting out “Save us!” on Sunday, will be shouting out “Crucify Him” by Friday. #holyweek #easterattheanchor
