THE WEEK OF PASSION
                             (According to the Gospel of Mark)             

 

 

 It was the Springof 1977 in FortWorth, Texas. I was a student at Southwestern
Baptist Theological Seminary sitting in a New Testament Survey Class. Our
professor shared one of his personal Easter traditions-the reading of the events
during the final week of Christ's life leading to His crucifixion and Resurrection.
Instead of turning back and forth between the four Gospels, He followed the
narrative in the Gospel of Mark. It became one of my personal Easter traditions.
Beginning on Palm Sunday I read, meditate, and 'visit'what Christ experienced on
each of the days leading to His resurrection. I ask the Holy Spirit to teach me, and
show me something I might have missed, each day. Below is the outline if you
choose to join me in your own quiet time, in your own home.

 

 PALM SUNDAY- Mark 11-:L-LL The Triumphant Entry & Temple

 

 MONDAY- Mark L1;12-I9 The Cleansing of the Temple

 

 TUESDAY- Mark LL:2VI4:L1. Teaching 

 

 WEDNESDAY- No Record. (Probably a day of Praying and
Preparing and a day of Rest)

 

 THURSDAY- Mark L4:L2-52 Preparation for Passover/The Last
 Supper/Praying in the Garden.

 

 FRIDAY- Mark 14:53-l-5:47 Crucifixion & Redemption

 

 SATURDAY- No Record A Day of Silence
