We continue our midweek Lenten series of exploring what took place on the three days between Palm Sunday and Maundy Thursday.

It is Tuesday of Holy Week, and Jesus is just three days away from being arrested, tried, convicted, crucified, killed, and buried. It’s the final time He and the crowds in Jerusalem will exchange words before He is arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane and placed on trial.

If you only had one final, public appearance to make in your life, what would you say? Jesus uses His last public appearance to compare His own death and burial to that of a grain of wheat bearing much fruit after it has been dead and buried in the ground.
