Passion Week in One Day

Monday morning I am leading a couple and their friend around Jerusalem on a very directed study of the Passion Week of the grave-conquering Messiah.  I have been looking forward to it for quite a while - rarely do you have the opportunity to focus in on such a specific period (normally I will cover from Abraham-Mohamed in 1 DAY - 2100 BC-640 AD - 2750 years vs. 7 days!)  We will start with the triumphal entry and make our way through the rest of the week stopping at the various sites which are mentioned in the four Gospels.

Here is a satellite view of what our 5 1/2 mile trip will look like.

1.     Mt. of Olives - Triumphal Entry (Sunday or Monday of Passion Week Luke 19:37-40) 

2.     Dominus Flevit – Triumphal Entry (“the Lord Wept” – Luke 19:41-42)
