By His Authority | Holy Week Study - Part 2
Rebecca and Jennifer dive into the events of the Holy Week, the week between Palm Sunday and Resurrection Sunday, the week Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead. In this Part 2 episode, their discussion explores the events of Thursday and continuing through Resurrection Sunday. They discuss the Passover and emphasize the truth that Jesus willingly went to the cross to fulfill the will of the Father. He was tried and convicted, and now the crowds shouted for His crucifixion. Jesus was beaten and placed on the cross on Friday as His mother and disciples watched His agonizing death. He was a King who "humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross" (Philippians 2:8). On the cross next to Him, a thief asked Jesus to remember him when He comes into His kingdom. Jesus promised the thief would be with Him today in paradise, showing He was the Sovereign King, even as He was rejected and put to death. The discussion concludes with the greatest moment in history when the rejected Christ conquered death and was raised to life, proving He is the Son of God and the risen King of Kings!
