November 10

The Triumphant Entry -- Sunday -- John 12:12-16; Matthew 21:1-11, 17; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:29-44;  Final Week -- Monday -- Matthew 21:18-19, 12-16; Mark 11:12-19; Luke 19:45-48; John 12:20-36

Some people see Jesus in this x-ray.  It seems like we're looking for Him everywhere.

Jesus comes into Jerusalem.  Can you imagine the irony He is feeling and how His knowledge must plague Him.  Yet He does bristle and rail and fume and condemn.  He is so popular the rulers fear.  But on both Sunday and Monday, He escapes the city at night and returns to Bethany.  It must have been a special place for Him with Mary and Martha and Lazarus there.  There friendship was surely a source of strength as was His father in these last days.  

It is all going so quickly now.
