Holy Week Begins

The journey has begun. Jesus has entered the city and now we wait to see what will happen. We who know the story, know that this is the final week for Jesus. He will challenge the ruling authorities, share a final meal, die the death of a rebel, and then be vindicated by God in his resurrection.

As we move toward Easter's glories, we must stop along the way to visit the cross. Jesus will utter his final words and be buried. But the tomb will not hold his body.


As I contemplate this week's events I'm reading through The Last Week: A Day-by-Day Account of Jesus's Final Week in Jerusalem, by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan, (HarperSanFrancisco, 2006). Borg and Crossan walk us through the final days, giving historical pointers and spiritually affirming thoughts on this final week of our Lord's life.
