The Final Week of Jesus

Easter 2025

In this four-part series we look at some of the major events that took place in Jesus’ final week in Jerusalem. We begin with Palm Sunday and His entrance into Jesusalem, the foot-washing in the Upper Room on Thursday, His arrest and death on Friday and His resurrection on Sunday.

Many in the church have read about the final week of Jesus so many times that they almost skim it now. The hope of this series is that we contemplate in fresh ways the history changing events of Jesus’ final week and how they changed everything forever.

John 12:12-19

It can be hard enough to properly assess the truth of something we're looking at in a day and age where AI/"Deep Fake" technology makes it nearly impossible. But it can be equally hard to assess the truth of something whenever we bring our various biases/preconceived ideas to bear on it.

This Sunday we'll look at the account of Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem from John's Gospel and explore the way the biases of the various players John describes as witnesses of that event skew their interpretation of it. We'll consider as well about how those same biases can skew our vision of Jesus today.

The footwashing of the disciples by Jesus is one of the most stunning yet misunderstood and misapplied events in the final days of Jesus. In this message we consider what the footwashing displayed, symbolized and calls Jesus' all of Jesus' disciples to.
