FRIDAY 7th APRIL - MARK 11:1-11

Mark 11 lasts 3 days

day 1
Jesus rides on a colt whilst people are singing and waving branches
Jesus looks around the temple
Jesus goes back home because it's getting a bit late

day 2
Jesus heads back into Jerusalem and curses a fig tree
Jesus goes straight to the temple and turns over the tables
Jesus goes back home maybe because it's getting a bit late

day 3
Jesus heads back into Jerusalem passed the dead fig tree
Jesus goes straight to the temple and is met by the chief priests
Jesus is then met by the Pharisees


It seems as though Jesus felt called to travel to Jerusalem.
His first visit as Messiah was heralded by the public but went un-noticed by the authorities.
His second visit caused a stir.
His third visit therefore prompted the interest of a huge number of dignitaries and authority figures.
