The Passion Week
Saturday – Jesus arrives at Bethany (stays with Mary, Martha and Lazarus)

Friday – Passover (the Cross)

What Do We Learn?
– We see again God’s zeal for His temple (church) to be pure in its worship and obedience.
– We appear in each of these parables:
– We are the tax collectors and prostitutes.
– We are the ones who take over the vineyard because the first tenants didn’t yield its fruit.
– We are those out in the crossroads, both evil and good.-
– We have received great blessing because the Jews rejected Christ, so we can only boast in the Lord!
