Jesus Last Week Before the Resurrection

Our discussion will be centered on the last week of Jesus time on earth before the cruc.ifixion.  The intent is to raise our awareness of  some of the noted events that occurred.  Also, this discussion might enhance our knowledge about some of the things we already know. For example, did Jesus rise from the grave on a Saturday night or a Sunday morning.

1.  The "Triumphal Entry" of Jesus into Jerusalem

     The significance of the event is underscored by the fact that the circumstance is recorded in all four gospel accounts.  For discussion purposes we will only analyze Matthews account.

2.  The meaning and importance of the Last Supper

    The Last Supper was both a Passover meal and the last meal Jesus had with his apostles before his arrest and crucifixion.

3. The Passover

      See discussion sheet.

4. Jesus Arrest and Trial

      See discussion sheet

5. The Crucifixion of Jesus

    The shadow of the cross that was raised on Golgotha reaches across the centuries to offer comfort, forgiveness, and hope for us today.  Even with all the pain , Jesus thought of others rather than himself when he was on the cross. His first words from the cross were, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do".

6. The 7 Last Words of Jesus on the Cross

 You will be given the scripture for these words in class.

     1) Jesus speaks to the Father     (2) Jesus Speaks to the Criminal on the Cross   (3) Jesus Speaks to Mary and John  (4) Jesus Cries Out to the Father  (5) Jesus is Thirsty  (6) It is Finished   (7) Jesus Last Words.  Thus, we have what is often referred to as Jesus last words.
