Bible Question:
Write a detailed synopsis of the final events of Jesus' life. There should be 5 major events-Trials, Death, Resurrection, appearances and Ascension. Each major section should be fully included in the synopsis. I do not need to summarize the teachings, but include in the synopsis all the events recorded in the Gospels. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks Rose53 |
Bible Answer: Hi Rose 53 Yes, and don't forget about the final week of our Lord's life. It began with a parade in His honor, and proceeded quickly to His shameful execution. You can read the story on Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on what we call 'Palm Sunday', in Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19, John 12. The interesting point to me, is the reaction of the Pharisees that were there in the midst of the celebrating crowd. They told Jesus to 'keep them quiet'. Yet, if they knew the Scriptures as well as they claimed to, they would have known enough to be waiting at the gate, on that very day, in anticipation of the fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy (9:9). This is because of Daniel's prophecy has been mathematically calculated to be fulfilled on that day. This is no different than Daniel recording in vs 9:2 that he understood through Scriptural study the number of years, that would be accomplished in the desolations of Jerusalem. Anyway, what kicks the whole scenario off for me, is the raising of Lazarus from the dead, After which they headed for Jerusalem. Then there are Jesus' farewell sermons, and then Judas agrees to betray Him. Then comes the Last Supper, garden of Gethsemane, and the arrest by the Sanhedrins, after which Peter betrays Jesus 3 times. Then after a shameful execution, where the soldiers mocked Him to His face, Jesus hung dying on the cross. Then He cried out, "My God, My God, Why have you forsaken Me?" (Mat 27:46) It seemed all had abandoned Him. Yet He did not abandon us. His work was not finished. If Jesus did not rise from the dead and claim His victory, then our faith would be like empty grief, based upon a useless myth. But then came an empty tomb. And even though an angel had declared that Jesus had risen, Cleopas was walking on the road to Emmaus with a friend and their faces were 'downcast' (Luke 24:17). But later, Jesus gave His disciples a treat. The last miracle He performed on earth was filling their nets with fish, after an unproductive night of fishing. Then Jesus had breakfast waiting for them. After which He showed His amazing grace to Peter by restoring Him into His service. I do hope this helps Rose, we are all glad to give support and opinions, but we do not do people's homework. The details are all found by reading the Book. (o; Lord Bless, keliy |
