The Good Friday of the Holy Week

Good Friday was the last day of Jesus’ life on earth before His resurrection. He was betrayed by Judas, as predicted, and denied by Peter, as predicted. His disciples scattered. He was arrested and was placed on trial falsely. He was condemned, beaten, mocked, and required to carry His own cross to the place where He was crucified and died. “The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head.” Though he was offered something to dull the physical pain, Jesus refused. He chose to face the pain of death head-on. They stripped Him of His clothes and cast lots for them, fulfilling another prophecy.

Two prisoners were crucified alongside Jesus. One mocked Him, but the other said, “‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ Jesus answered him, ‘Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise’” (Luke 23:39-43). Amidst the cruelest, unfair, unjust, and painful death a human body could endure, Jesus chose to respond in grace to the criminal beside Him and care for His mother and best friend. “When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, ‘Woman, here is your son,’ and to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother’” (John 19:25-27). At noon, Jesus cried out “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit,” and died.

“It was at about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.” -Luke 23:44-46

Jesus was taken down from the cross, wrapped in linens, and placed in a tomb.

The Maundy Thursday of the Holy Week

It was on the Maundy Thursday of Christ's final week before being crucified and resurrected that He and his disciples shared the Last Supper. On this day, Jesus washed the feet of His disciples and broke break with them for the last time.

During the meal, Jesus predicted His betrayal by one of them and Peter’s denial. After the meal, the disciples accompanied Jesus to the Garden at Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed in agony. “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” An angel came to strengthen Jesus in the garden. There, He taught His disciples, and us, what to do when we come to the end of our own strength and need God to help us press on.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another" (John 13:34).

No one knew love like the sacrificial and selfless love of Jesus before the cross. Thus, a new commandment to love sacrificially and selflessly.

The Holy Wednesday of the Holy Week

Holy Wednesday is the day when Judas betrayed Jesus, and also the day when Jesus was anointed at Bethany. Though the Gospel of Luke states, “every day he was teaching in the temple,” Holy Wednesday is referred to as a day of rest for Jesus. While in Bethany, a woman anointed Jesus’ feet with perfume. While Jesus rests in Bethany at the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, the plot of the high priest and the authorities to kill Jesus is in full swing.

Finding an open opportunity in the greed of Judas, Satan entered him. Judas went to the chief priests and authorities, “and from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.” He would soon betray Jesus for the price of a slave, 30 pieces of silver, and the twelve would scatter. None of the twelve will be left at the foot of the cross as Jesus dies but John.

The Holy Tuesday of the Holy Week

Holy Tuesday follows Christ’s return to Jerusalem from Bethany. On his return to Jerusalem, Jesus passes a fig tree that he has cursed on his way to Bethany on Monday. Jesus uses the opportunity to teach his disciples about faith and informs them that with faith they will have the power to curse or bless the world around them, just as he did.

This is also the day that Jesus tells the parable of the vineyard keepers who didn’t respect the demands of the owner of the vineyard, eventually killing the owner’s son as well. The religious leaders — the Pharisees and Sadducees are angered by this as they see the parable as targeting them, and begin to plot to arrest Jesus.

Stopping at the Mount of Olives to rest on the way back to Bethany to spend the night, Jesus also spoke to His disciples this day about the upcoming trials for His followers.
