The weather decided to change our travel plans. Sadly, we won’t be able to spend Easter with the Ones we planned. Now it’s scramble time to bring Easter to the home!!!
It’s Holy Monday, but where is Jesus?
After his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, where does Christ go?
Yesterday Jesus rode into Jerusalem. The crowds hailed Him as the Son of David and exalted Him with palms and shouts of joy.
Now Monday of Holy Week dawns. Where is He? What happened after the crowds dispersed?
The Gospels shed light on this. On the evening of Palm Sunday, Jesus went to spend the night in Bethany, where He would have stayed with friends (Matthew 21:17).
Monday morning, He returned to Jerusalem. According to the Synoptic Gospels, it is on this day that Jesus walked with firm purpose into the Temple and drove out the moneylenders, castigating them for making His Father’s house a “den of robbers” (Matthew 21:12–17, Mark 11:15–19, Luke 19:45-48).
Jesus also began His final days of teaching, giving the people a holy torrent of parables and warnings. Many of His most famous teachings and parables—such as the widow who gave two pennies, the parable of the wicked tenants, and the dispute over paying taxes to Caesar—happened during Christ’s ministry in Jerusalem.
Then—as biblical clues suggest—He returned again to Bethany.
These innocent looking bovine sure made a big mess the other evening. Thank goodness a neighbor saw them before they got sick. They opened a handle and let out some corn. So now we are cleaning up the corn to give to the chickens.
I grew up rodeoing with Larin.
