Jesus the Sacrifice

Introduction

Holy Week

Jesus enters Jerusalem—welcomed as a king.

The crowds rejoiced: “Blessed is the King who comes int he name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

“And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it.”

Jesus cleanses the Temple. “My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers.”

The chief priests, scribes, and elders opposed Christ’s authority.

Judas betray’s Jesus—conspiring with religious leaders.

Institution of the Lord’s Supper

Text

Luke 22:39–42 ESV

39 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
