When we think about Holy Week as Christians, we tend to focus on Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday, but what about those "Silent Days" in between? In this conversation, we break down what actually happened during Jesus's final week on earth. We start by acknowledging most Christians couldn't tell you what happened on Tuesday of Holy Week, then walk through Monday's events where Jesus cursed the fig tree—a powerful picture that Israel was in trouble—and cleansed the temple, directly challenging religious authorities who were profiting from worship. Tuesday was incredibly tense, with Jesus silencing three waves of challengers, pronouncing seven woes against the religious leaders, and delivering His most extensive end-times teaching on the Mount of Olives. By Wednesday, the religious leaders had had enough and plotted to kill Him. We also discuss Saturday, that quiet day when Jesus's body lay in the tomb—proving He really did die—while guards secured it. The most important takeaway: Jesus intentionally created this tension to expose religious hypocrisy. He doesn't want our outward religious performance; He wants our hearts. This Easter, don't be like the whitewashed tombs Jesus condemned.
