Series: Lent

For Lent, we are exploring Jesus -- His final week. We have already seen what took place on Sunday and Monday of Holy Week, and now we move into Holy Tuesday. Tuesday is a busy day, a full day. Mark’s narrative account of the day’s events covers almost three chapters (115 verses). Most of Tuesday is filled with conflict with temple authorities and their minions. Jesus also warns of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. There is an unfiltered clarity here in Jesus’ words. We are reminded that there is a way to follow that leads to destruction. How can we as people of organized religion avoid the same fate as the temple? Jesus calls us to walk another way -- the way of neighborly love.
