We will be using the following guide in our devotional times to consider the events of the last week of Jesus’ life:
The Last Week of Jesus Christ
You can also trace the last week of Jesus by using Google Maps. This resource will help you experience even more information regarding the last week of Jesus Christ. You can also see a slight variation in the activity of Jesus from the devotional resource we provided.
Finally, *watch a modern Jewish Passover sacrifice and see in a whole new way what it meant for Jesus to be the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world.
*WARNING: The video contains graphic content. If you do not want to see a lamb being slain, do not watch this video. Please read the following Scriptures prior to watching to gain a greater perspective on the role of Jesus as THE sacrifice for our sins.
1 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; 6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’ ” 8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet.
Hebrews 10:1-1317 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
1 Pe 1:17-21.For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
I Corinthians 5:21
