In this episode, we reach the climax of the biblical story. The long-awaited King arrives, but instead of receiving Him, Israel rejects Him. That rejection sets in motion the events of Holy Week and ultimately becomes the means by which God brings redemption to the world.
We trace the major movements of the Gospels:
• The Triumphal Entry and renewed rejection
• Jesus’ pronouncement of judgment in the Olivet Discourse
• The Passover, Last Supper, and the inauguration of the New Covenant
• The crucifixion of the King and the irony of His “crime”
• The vindication of Jesus through His resurrection
• The Great Commission that launches the next phase of God’s Story
If you’re exploring how the Bible fits together from Genesis to the Gospels, this episode will help you see Jesus’ death and resurrection as the decisive turning point in the Story, where the serpent strikes the heel of the Seed of the Woman, only to be dealt a fatal blow three days later.
