There is great happiness on this Palm Sunday. Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. Now He is entering into Jerusalem to be the blood sacrifice required to forgive sins and give life. The happiness will end quickly and almost no one gathers around Jesus at His crucifixion on Good Friday. However, eternal joy will replace the decreasing happiness in the greatest miracle of all. Easter morning is near.
The Holy Bible: Part 5
Jesus Defends His Teaching
Jesus defends His teaching but not His life. Why?
First He says that it is not His teaching but His Father’s teaching. Our Father gave this teaching to Jesus who gives it to us. Jesus will defend His Father and what is given to Him.
Second, Jesus knows He needs to die to save sinners. Jesus will do this when the time is right. Our Father gave Jesus authority not only to teach but to lay down His life and take it up again. Jesus will lay down His life at a time of His choosing.
