Easter Week, Wednesday — Day 4

The Bible is silent about this day. It's likely that Jesus rested, perhaps at the home of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha. Based on other times when Jesus was facing a difficult time, he likely spent a good part of the day in prayer and teaching his disciples.

Easter Week, Sunday, Day 1 — Palm Sunday

My plan had been to write out the events of the week prior to Jesus' resurrection. However, it's more complicated that I anticipated. So, perhaps I'll have it ready for 2014. For this year, though, I'm just going to list the Bible passages. I pray that reading these will fill you with gratitude for what God did for you in sending Jesus to pay the penalty for your sin.

• Mark 11:1–11
• Luke 19:28–44
