Teaching Notes
In one short week we move from the crowd shouting
“Hosanna”
“Crucify Him”
The Last Week of Jesus’ life on Earth
Sunday
The Triumphal Entry
“Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”
Mark 11:2-3
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and victorious,
lowly and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Zechariah 9:9
Jesus fulfilled 351 prophecies.
Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
Mark 11:8-10
The word “Hosanna” means “to save, to rescue”. They saw Jesus as the one who would save Israel from the Roman rule and restore them to dignity and political as a people.
But Jesus came to save them for something bigger, way bigger. He wants to give them eternal life. He wants to remove the death penalty that hangs over every human. How is he going to do it? By dying for them…even though they don’t know this yet.
Monday
Jesus clears the temple of money changers
On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’
Mark 11:15-17
The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.
Mark 11:18
Tuesday
Jesus’ authority questioned
Jesus told a parable that exposed the Pharisees
Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd; so they left him and went away.
Mark 12:12
Jesus is challenged on paying taxes to Caesar
Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words. They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?
Mark 12:13-14
Jesus is challenged on the resurrection and marriage
Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Mark 12:24-25
And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.
Mark 12:34
Wednesday
Judas’ decision to betray Jesus
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them. They were delighted to hear this and promised to give him money. So he watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
Mark 14:10-11
