Summary
We have been asking ourselves what Scripture revealed to us that Jesus was doing in those Holy Days before Holy Week, before the triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead. But remember back in Luke 10, when Martha was serving, when Jesus was at the home of Mary and Martha in Bethany, and Martha was rebuked for her serving, here she's not rebuked for her serving. Mary and Martha love service sacrifice, their reaction, the reaction of Judas' selfishness. So the reaction of love and service sacrifice, the reaction of selfishness, the reaction of those that were curious, not fully committed, the reaction of those opposed to him. And in those days, as we enter from the Holy days before, Holy week, into the Holy days of Holy week, we will see Jesus' reaction put on display.
