INTRO: The week we are entering is called the Passion week. The calculations of the date when we commemorate the crucifixion and resurrection are based on rather shaky principles. I read that the church decided Easter would be celebrated on the first Sunday after a full moon that falls either on or after the Spring equinox. So the date varies quite a bit from year to year. And furthermore, what we call Easter week should be called Passover week. I will share some of that later. This year, I am to preach today, Palm Sunday; and on the day we call ‘Good Friday’ and resurrection Sunday. In these three messages I want to give you the chronology of the Passion week. The ministry of the Lord Jesus was a brief 2 years and a few months at most, as I see it. As I study the Gospels, Jesus made eight trips to Jerusalem. The last took place after His resurrection when He came from Galilee to Jerusalem and then ascended to heaven from the Mount of Olives. I want to trace the events leading to Palm Sunday from the time He began to go to Jerusalem from northern Israel, the Galilee area. This was His seventh recorded trip to Jerusalem. It also makes up part of the Passion week. By the passion we mean His suffering. When Jesus made this trip to Jerusalem, He knew He was going to die on the cross.
