Blind guides!...For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people's bones and all sorts of impurity. Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness...Snakes! Sons of vipers! How will you escape the judgment of hell?" (Matthew 23:24-33) God is just yet merciful. How can justice be served when God loves those who deserve punishment too much to give them what they deserve? An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps. “Where would you like to sit?” he asked politely. Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical AGONY for all eternity?” persisted Satan. The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.Early Sunday morning, several women ( Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Salome, and Mary the mother of James) went to the tomb and discovered that the large stone covering the entrance had been rolled away. An angel announced: Sunday School Lesson (John 14:1-14) Jesus is the Way, and the Truth, and the Life This week the children will be learning that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. These Sunday School Lessons are based on the passage in John 14 where Jesus explains how relationship with Him is the only... I see… And that must be Mary, joseph, and the Baby Jesus,” Ms. Terri said. “But who's the fourth person?”

And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? And they said, The Lord hath need of him. And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. After a tiring day of confrontation and warnings about the future, once again, Jesus and the disciples returned to Bethany to stay the night. I love it that they’re made by hand and mostly by the Berber women. Some of the remote Berber villages have only had electricity for seven years. I’m in awe of the workmanship and how creative the rugs are and how dedicated these wonderful weavers were and continue to be to this amazing craft. They’re all works of art. I’m constantly blown away by them. As the Lamb of God, Jesus was about to fulfill the meaning of Passover by giving his body to be broken and his blood to be shed in sacrifice, freeing us from sin and death. During this Last Supper, Jesus established the Lord's Supper, or Communion, instructing his followers to continually remember his sacrifice by sharing in the elements of bread and wine (Luke 22:19-20).

He brought about seventy-five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes. Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus' body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth." (John 19: 39-40, NLT) On Palm Sunday, Jesus and his disciples spent the night in Bethany, a town about two miles east of Jerusalem. This is where Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead, and his two sisters, Mary and Martha,lived. They were close friends of Jesus, and probably hosted Him and His disciples during their final days in Jerusalem. Later, Jesus and the disciples left the Upper Room and went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed in agony to God the Father. Luke's Gospel says that"his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground" (Luke 22:44, ESV). And not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him.
