So this is a post of one of my New Testament assignments. The assignment was to write out the important events the last week of Christ's life. I got my info from the New Testament Institute Manual, fyi. So here it is:
Day 1: Jesus rode through Jerusalem and the people cried Hosanna to Him.
Day 2: Challenged the Jewish religious leadership by calling everyone out on exchanging money in the temple.
Day 3: Christ was challenged by the Jewish priests and responded by sharing parables that didn't exactly make them happy. He called out the scribes and the Pharisees for being hypocrites. Christ only taught the twelve from that day forward. The plot to kill Jesus began to be planned. Judas Iscariot offered to help betray Christ.
Day 4: Jesus knew of the plot against his life. None of the gospel recorders recorded anything for this day.
Day 5: The last supper, the introduction of the sacrament, the suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, Judas' betrayal, Christ's arrest and illegal trial all happened on that day.
Day 6: Christ was charged with blasphemy and with sedition against the state. Pontius Pilate found Jesus guiltless on both charges but charged Him with them anyway to appease the citizens. Christ was tortured and crucified (which is also torture on the body). He died and was taken down from the cross and placed in the tomb.
Day 7: The Jewish Sabbath. Christ's body remained in the tomb but his spirit taught the dead.
Day of the Resurrection: Christ was resurrected and emerged from the tomb.
