Over the next few weeks we are going to examine a few of Jesus' final days. A handful of scriptural snapshots reveal to us Jesus' revolutionary actions and teachings as He willingly embraces His trajectory to the cross. If you're looking for an example of what to do and say to get yourself crucified -- Jesus is your man. 

The four Gospels teach us that Jesus officially begins His preparation for burial on the Friday He enters Bethany and claims His work finished the following Friday in Jerusalem while dying on the cross. And although the Gospel evangelists don't say one word about what Jesus is doing on Saturday or Wednesday, these eight days are worthy of our utmost attention and reflection, for in this brief period of time (from Friday to Friday), Jesus revolutionized the world in eternally significant ways. 

I pray you will approach each day with open minds and make your way through this study with a sense of amazement about who Jesus is and what He accomplished in just eight days.
