This week we are doing something different. We are taking you down days towards the cross. These events aren’t in any order but are things that happen during this passion week. Just be ready as the word comes alive thru pictures and text.
These scriptures above took place around or about the first day of the week, as the day approaches that Jesus would die upon the cross. All three scriptures say about the say thing but Mark chapter 12 15-19 tells a little more.
When Jesus went into the temple. Like I have said these events give you some ideas on what happened from Palm Sunday to the cross. This is what happened the next day.
The main story for the day is the CURSE OF THE FIG TREE. Here is the scripture text for today.
.And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; and would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. And when even was come, he went out of the city.
Mark 11:12-19 KJV
Those events highlighted what took place day one leading up to the cross. Continue to be with us as we look into the passion week.
