Hello everyone. Thanks for listening to Come Follow Me Insights with Taylor and Tyler presented by Scripture Central.

We use a lot of visuals in our videos, so if you want to see the visuals, we invite you to find us on YouTube.

Thanks for listening and enjoy. I'm Taylor and I'm Tyler. This is Scripture Central's Come Follow Me Insights. This week, Matthew 21 through 23, Mark 11, Luke 19 and 20,

and John 12. Boy, that's a lot to cover.

It's a lot because we are beginning the week of the atoning sacrifice. This is Palm

Sunday today, and now that we get into this final week of Jesus' life, you're going to notice that all four

gospel writers, John joins with the synoptics in telling many of these stories, which, remember,

there weren't very many of those previously. The other thing to notice is that in our New Testament

Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke,

and John, 66% of the chapters cover the first 33 years of his life.

And a full one-third of the chapters cover the last week plus a day. So eight days of his life are covered in one-third

of the scripture pages that we have in the Gospels. So this is day one as we now begin

that final week of Jesus' life leading into His infinite atonement.

And because there's so much here, it's kind of hard to separate out.

Before we do the actual triumphal entry in, we're going to spend most of our time in Matthew

21 and 22, we need to go to John chapter 12 and pick up one little story that is

a precursor to the triumphal entry. And it's this little feast that takes place over in Bethany.

Verse one says, then Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, which had been

dead whom he raised from the dead.

So we're back at the home of Mary and Martha, and there they made him a supper and Martha

served.

And Lazarus was one of them which sat at the table.
