The Second Day of Passion Week

Introduction:

On the second day, Jesus and His disciples left Bethany and headed for the temple in Jerusalem. Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it, but found nothing on it except leaves. The fig tree had no value because it had no fruit. After that, Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those who were buying and selling there, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.  He wouldn’t allow them to turn the temple into a filthy trading place, and said to them: “My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus cleansed the temple so that people could truly honor God.  However, the unbelieving chief priests and the teachers of the law not only disobeyed the authority of Jesus, but instead sought to kill him.

□   4/15 受難週第二天

簡介：
      第二天，耶穌和門徒從伯大尼出來，要往耶路撒冷的聖殿去。途中看見有一棵無花果樹，很遺憾除了葉子，主竟找不到什麼。這棵無花果樹因沒有結果子便失去它該有的價值。之後耶穌走進聖殿，祂趕出做買賣的人，推倒兌換銀錢和賣鴿子之人的桌椅，不允許他們將聖殿變為藏污納垢的交易場所，怒責他們說：“我的殿必稱為禱告的殿，你們倒使它成為賊窩。”祂要潔淨聖殿,目的是要讓眾人真實的尊 神為 神。然而不信的祭司長和文士不但不服耶穌的權柄，反而是想法子要殺害祂。

鑰節：

太21:12-13    
12 耶穌進了 神的殿，趕出殿裡一切做買賣的人，推倒兌換銀錢之人的桌子和賣鴿子之人的凳子， 13 對他們說：「經上記著說：『我的殿必稱為禱告的殿』，你們倒使它成為賊窩了！」

默想：
      當耶穌即將走向十字架的時候，祂的心卻仍然惦記著 神的殿。耶穌藉著以賽亞書56:7來提醒我們『神的殿必稱為萬國禱告的殿』。 神的殿是 神榮耀的居所，也是人遇見 神、敬拜 神的地方。如今， 神的殿卻變成了賊窩！雖然熙攘熱鬧卻毫無屬靈的實際，就像那顆無花果樹一樣，徒有茂盛的枝葉，卻找不到應該有的果子。同樣，今天我們就是 神的殿， 神的靈也住在我們的裡面。盼望今天的經文能夠提醒我們潔淨自己的心，好讓我們能成為 神喜悅的居所。

詩歌： H254  我主 ，只有袮的聖靈

2019 Passion Week Daily Devotion Passover was a festival set by Jehovah for the Israelites to commemorate that God had freed them from the Egyptians. “… And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. ‘So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.” (Ex 12:13b-14) The Jews never thought that the blood of the lamb symbolizes Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who became the Lamb of the Passover.  He bore the sin of the world, was crucified on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. From then on, churches began to commemorate Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. According to church traditions, the week before the Resurrection is known as Passion Week or Holy Week, and the day of his resurrection (Sunday) became the beginning of our week. According to th

The Fifth Day of Passion Week Introduction: Most notably, this is the day that Jesus ate His final Passover (often called the Last Supper) and instituted Communion. It is at this meal that Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, commanding them to do the same for each other and to love one another as He had loved each of them. Christ's "mandate" is where we get the name Maundy Thursday.   At this meal, just prior to His arrest, Jesus predicted what would happen on the next day (and His departure), then He used the elements of the Passover to give His followers symbols of remembrance for His body and His blood to be sacrificed.   Finally, Jesus provided a very important principle for His followers: to love as He loved, to serve as He did. Peter confidently said that he could follow like this but Jesus answered, predicting Peter’s threefold denial.   Jesus’ high priestly prayer was offered up for Peter and the disciples, for Himself, and for all believers.

The Sixth Day of Passion Week Introduction: Friday was the day of Jesus’ crucifixion. The four Gospels have all recorded a great deal on that day. Jesus was overwhelmed with sorrow in Gethsemane, and His sweat was as if it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Shortly after He was betrayed by Judas, many of the disciples forsook him and fled. Peter disavowed him three times. The soldiers mocked Him and spat on him. Wearing the crown of thorns, covered with cuts and bruises, and after a night of interrogation, Jesus carried the heavy cross and walked towards Calvary, where He was crucified. Key Events: 1.        Gethsemane Events/Facts Location Matthew Mark Luke John 1. Jesus and his disciples headed to Mount of Olives Jerusalem 26:30 14:26 22:39 18:1‐2 2.
