I am always looking for new ways in which to bring the events of Passion Week to life in order to gain a greater sense of all Jesus went through that week for us. This year I've come up with a time line of the events of the last week in the life of Jesus on earth and plan to read each days events throughout the week.
If you would like to join me, I've enclosed the timeline below that list each event written about in each of the gospels so that you can follow the story line as it happened throughout Jesus' final week on earth. I pray you'll take the next week to read it as if you were there experiencing it all firsthand.
