While it is not clear from Scripture all that Jesus was doing on Monday and Tuesday of His Passion Week, it does seem that He spent time in Bethany on these days fellowshipping with friends like Simon the Leper, Lazarus and others. Among those friends was a woman who demonstrated extravagant love for her Savior. Though we do not know her name, her act lives on as a example for every believer. Jesus is worthy of our everything.

Today we find Jesus in Bethany with some people who enjoyed fellowshipping with Him. Even though, humanly, this would be the most difficult week of Christ’s life, He still spent time encouraging His own. Remember, Jesus wants to fellowship with you today. Will you fellowship with Him?

On Palm Sunday, Jesus presented Himself as the Messiah when He rode into Jerusalem on a colt of a donkey. According to Luke 19:28-44, Jesus was received by a multitude of disciples. They received with reverence and rejoicing. However, their reception was overshadowed by the demands of the power hungry religious leaders of that day, the Pharisees. They had gathered with ill intent in the midst of the joyous crowd. As Jesus continues His approach up to Jerusalem, He viewed the city and wept. This and more was the subject of my Palm Sunday message.

As we approach this Easter, it is my desire to take a special online journey with you through the passion week of Christ beginning with the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. That will be the subject of my Palm Sunday message. You can join us for that message at watchGBC.com at 10:30am (EST). Monday through Friday, I will post a video right here on my blog, at watchGBC.com and at our Facebook page. These videos will track the events of the passion week and give a brief devotional thought. I hope this journey will encourage you and motivate your love for Jesus Christ.
