Trek Through Truth

Jesus' trial continues with Pilate and Herod who find no fault in Him. Yet, it doesn't stop the people calling for His crucifixion. John 18:28-38, 39-40; 19:1-15; Luke 23:1-12, 20-25; Matthew 27:11-23, 24-313; Mark 15:2-5, 6-10, 16-20 

Today we explore the illegal nature of Jesus' arrest and trial. Corruption in the Sanhedrin! John 18:12b-24,25,26-27; Matthew 26:57-58, 59-68, 69-75; 27:1-2, 3-10; Mark 14:53-54, 55-65, 66-72;15:1; Luke 22:55-38, 63-65, 59-62, 66-71

Jesus goes to Gethsemane where He bares His heart to God, but still allows the Enemy to move in for the kill.  John 17:20-26, 18:1,2-12; Mark 14:32-42, 43-50, 51-52; Matthew 26:36-46, 47-56; Luke 22:47-53; Revelation 14:9-10 #everydaychristians

Only hours before the cross, Jesus gives His disciples and us important information on surviving the world without Him physically present.  It's new information for His disciples.  John 15:1-27; 16:1-33; 17: 1-19; Hebrews 12:5-6

The cross imminent, Jesus assures His disciples that although He must leave them, He promises to come back! And tells them how to live until then.  John 13:31-38; 14:1-31; Luke 22:31-39; Matthew 26:30-35; Mark 14:27-31; Zechariah 13:2-9 #everydaychristians

Jesus gives His disciples communion, a New Covenant, and an example of how He wants them to act.  Judas leaves to betray Him. Luke 12:14-23, 24-30; Matthew 26:26-29, 20-25; Mark 14:22-25,17-21; John 13:1-17,18-30; Jeremiah 31:31-40 

Everything is in order for Jesus going to the cross. At the Last Supper, Jesus uses the Seder or Passover Meal to paint a wonderful prophetic picture.  Luke 21:37-38; 22:7-13; John 12:37-50; Matthew 26:17-19; Mark 14:12-16

Jesus continues to speak on End Times.  Chief priests and Pharisees plot against Him and Judas becomes a volunteer for Satanic possession.  Matthew 25:1-13, 14-30, 31-46; 26:1-16; Mark 14:1-2, 10; Luke 22:1-6; Proverbs 21:2; 27:19

Jesus discusses what happens before He returns in victory, first with a crowd and then privately with His disciples. Information we all want to know. Mark 13:1-2, 3-31; Matthew 24:1-2,3-35; Luke 21:5-37

Today, we hear the last of the seven woes Jesus has for the Pharisees who are legalistic, arrogant, and unrepentant. We also contrast these woes with the Beatitudes. Matthew 23:23-28, 29-36, 37-39; Mark 12:41-44; Luke 21:1-4

The Pharisees' harassment of Jesus results in Him pronouncing woes on them for their hypocrisy.  Matthew 22:34-40, 41-45; 23:1-12, 13-22; Mark 12:28-34, 35-37, 38-40; Luke 20:41-44, 45-47; Psalm 110:1-7. www.israelmediaministries.org

Jesus' discourse covers the marriage feast in the Kingdom, paying taxes, and the reality of the resurrection, all to help those who were missing him, change their minds.  Matthew 22:1-; Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-39, Isaiah 61:10

It's Tuesday of Passion Week and Jesus makes more attempts to reach Jewish leaders, but He does it using parables.  John 12:31-36; Mark 11:19, 20-33; 12:1-9; Matthew 21:20-27, 28-41, 42-46; Luke 10:9-16

Jesus weeps over Jerusalem.  The Jewish leaders hate that the people treat Jesus as Messiah, but Jesus demonstrates His authority anyway. Luke 19:41-48; Matthew 21:10-19, John 12:17-33; Mark 11:11-19; Jeremiah 8:12-13

Mary anoints Jesus with expensive burial perfume, Lazarus is an attraction, and the people welcome Jesus into Jerusalem with Messiah words. Luke 19:28-40; 12:9-16; 7:36-40; John 11:55-57; 12:1-8; Matt 26:5-13; 21:1-9; Mark 14:3-9; 11:1-10; Zechariah 9:9

John and James ask for positions in Jesus' kingdom.  We meet Zaccheus, Jesus heals the blind, and we are encouraged by the parable pf the talents.  Matthew 20:20-28; Mark 10:35-45, 46-52; Luke 19:1-10; 18:35-43; 19:11-27

Jesus teaches we must come to God as children, and He tells His disciples what is planned for when He gets to Jerusalem.  Mark 10:13-16,17-22,23-31,32-34; Matthew 19:13-15, 16-22, 23-30; 20:17-19; Luke 18:15-17, 18-23, 24-30,31-34

Jesus commands Lazarus to come out of his tomb!  We take a look at how that is a picture of us.  And tested by the Pharisees, Jesus reveals how God sees divorce.  John 11:17-37,38-57; Matthew 19:3-12; Mark 10:2-9

Jesus continues to teach about the Kingdom of God, but time marches on.  Lazarus has died and Jesus' trek to the cross begins as He decides to go to Judea.  Luke 17:20-37; 18:1-14; Matthew 10:1-16; John 11:1-16

Jesus continues the use of parables concerning the Kingdom of God, leaving lots of information for us while confounding the Pharisees.  Luke 15:8-10, 11-32; 16: 1-13,14-18,19-31
