Holy Week, also known as Passion Week or the week of his Holy Passion, begins on Palm Sunday and runs through Easter. We celebrate the Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday and several important events in the life and ministry of Jesus took place this week, including the institution of the Lord’s Supper and the crucifixion on Good Friday. I hope to write a few posts and discuss these events throughout this week. Meanwhile, we were in Matthew 21, 26 and 27 this morning:

The Triumphal Entry looks like winning. The Last Supper sounds like the end, and the cross looks like losing. Things are not always as they seem and the world often gets winning and losing backwards. The preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who perish, but to those of us being saved it is the power of God. (1 Cor. 1:18)
