Summary

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman walk through Holy Week and focus on the events leading up to Easter, inviting us to discover who Jesus Christ is through each day. What begins on Palm Sunday with a triumphant entry quickly turns into a deeply personal journey through the final week of the Savior’s life. As the crowds ask, “Who is this?” each day of Holy Week becomes an answer, revealing a Savior who is worthy of praise, who defends the overlooked, who teaches with simplicity and power, and who notices even the smallest acts of faith. From cleansing the temple to quiet moments we do not fully see, to the Last Supper and the cross, this week shows the heart of Jesus Christ. A Savior who cares deeply, who stands up for others, who serves with love, and who continues working even in the waiting. Good Friday carries the weight of sacrifice, and Saturday reminds us that God is still present, even in silence. Then comes Easter Sunday, where everything changes. What began in grief becomes a miracle, and what felt like defeat is revealed as victory. This episode invites us to see Easter not just as a single day, but as a story we can live in, where Jesus Christ continues to bring hope, redemption, and new life.

0:00.0	Hi there, welcome to Don't Miss This, a scripture study podcast with Dave Butler and Grace Freeman. Each week, we point out things in the scriptures that we love and think you don't want to miss. Thanks for listening. Hi, I'm Dave Butler. And I'm Grace Freeman. Welcome to Don't Miss This. We're so happy you're here. It is Easter week. Oh, happy Easter. So happy Easter. I think our videos come out two weeks before the week and Sunday. So it's early Easter. So which means it might be Palm Sunday. I don't know when this comes out, but right before Palm Sunday. Yeah. Oh, the Sunday before Palm Sunday. Yep. That's right. Or Monday. The Monday, so it's coming. What a mess. It's coming. You're listening to it.
0:38.5	Clearly, you're listening to it or watching it. And Easter is on the way. I love this time of year
0:44.8	so much. I just feel this is the high holy holiday. It's the highest, holiest season of the year for Christians.
0:57.0	And I mean, everything, this is everything, right, has to do with resurrection. I was just
1:02.0	listening to this Catholic bishop today, like a podcast from him talking about when Jesus
1:08.3	dies on the cross, the most un-Messiah thing you could do is be defeated by your
1:13.9	enemies. All throughout the Old Testament, the prophecy is that he's going to defeat our enemies.
1:18.5	So like the least opposite thing that you could do is die by the hand of the people that you
1:25.8	had come to conquer.
1:31.3	And then Easter Sunday is the great reversal, right?
1:34.8	It's, it's, he wasn't conquered by them. And they weren't the real enemy.
1:37.2	And it just is Easter Sunday is why we are all Christian.
1:41.0	And I love this day.
1:42.0	I love this week.
1:42.8	I love celebrating it.
1:44.0	I love this season. I just, I. I love celebrating it. I love this season.
1:45.2	I just, I'm so excited about it.
1:47.4	So a couple things we have, if you want to open up your journal for this week to the Easter
1:52.3	page, there is a spot to write something down on every day.
1:56.7	And hopefully you have your Easter banner and, what do you call that? Hang up, set on the counter
2:03.7	thing, flip chart. I didn't even know what to say. The good news brand one. I didn't know what,
2:09.6	you know, but with the banner hung up, you can celebrate each day of this week. But we're going to
