Palm Sunday 2

As followers of Jesus we are called to live the resurrection, to have our eyes and ears focused on the Risen Christ. Jesus’ resurrection is the central event of the Christian faith. As you prepare for Easter, the celebration of Christ’s resurrection, this guide will help you navigate through the last week of the life of Jesus, leading up to the Cross and the Resurrection.

Today is the day of Jesus’ Triumphal Entry. He comes into Jerusalem riding a donkey while people cheer and lay palm branches and cloaks down along the path.

Passages: Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44; John 12:12-19

Suggestion: Sometime this week, watch Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ or one of the other films listed on the right, with your LIFEGroup, your friends/family or by yourself.
