Jesus prepares his disciples for his death

This series starts with Jesus’ important prophetic teaching and prediction about the future starting with forthcoming judgement on Israel for rejecting him as Messiah. There are also longer-term predictions about the challenges and opportunities for his followers throughout the era of the church. Jesus then predicts his ‘Second Coming’. The series ends with a description of the ‘Last Supper’ that Jesus shared with his disciples the evening before his death.
