What's On Your Tree

The revelation of the Old Testament is human need and the revelation of the New Testament is divine supply.

This is in the morning in the scene here is Monday, the last week of Jesus public ministry known as the Passion week of Jesus, where He will go to the Cross, suffer and die, be buried and rise again. He has made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Sunday and cleared out the temple and the money changers and then left to Bethany to the house of Mary and Martha and Lazarus. On Monday morning Jesus is heading back into the city.

He had been warmly embraced on Sunday. He rode His donkey into Jerusalem to the cheers of the crowd - but today is Monday and we see just how fickle people can be. One day is all it takes to go from Hero to Zero.

The Jewish leaders are determined to trap Jesus or discredit Him. The Temple is filled with tension. By the end of the day the Jewish religious establishment will solidify their decision to murder Jesus - and we'll find Jesus retreating to the Mount of Olives weeping over the rejection of the Jews and the destruction they will bring upon themselves.

This infamous Monday was the last time Jesus entered the Temple. It was the day the Jews rejected Jesus – and the day God rejected them.
