GUEST: PASTOR TRAVIS ALLEN

We are entering Easter Week. Or as it is sometimes called, Holy Week or Passion Week, commemorating the final week of the earthly life of Jesus Christ that culminated in His crucifixion on this coming Friday and resurrection next Sunday.

Many significant events occurred in the days leading to His crucifixion and resurrection. Jesus made what’s called “The Triumphal Entry” into Jerusalem this weekend on Sunday, also know as Palm Sunday, when he presented Himself to Israel as their promised Messiah and King, His followers waving palm branches and laying their coats on the road as Jesus rode in on the colt of a donkey.

On Monday, He came back into Jerusalem and cleansed the temple for the second time. On Tuesday and Wednesday, he taught in the temple and contended with unbelieving religious leaders of the Jews. He also instructed His own disciples about what was to come in the future.

And then on Thursday began the more familiar events with His Last Supper with His disciples, His betrayal by Judas, His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, and His sham trials by the Jews and the Romans, leading to His crucifixion on Friday.

Next weekend on the program, we will air a special program focusing on the person and work of Christ.

This weekend, pastor Travis Allen of Grace Church in Greeley, CO, a long-time, favorite guest, joins us to discuss the significance of the events that occurred during Passion Week leading to Christ’s death and resurrection.
