Episode 1 | Path to the Cross: The Lazarus Miracle

When Jesus resurrected Lazarus, he showcased his power over death and his incredible capacity to love those around him. However, he knew that this public miracle would be met with intense opposition from the Sanhedrin and would ultimately accelerate his path to the cross. See how obedience to God’s calling on your life, no matter how difficult, can lead to a fuller experience of God’s love and
grace.

Episode 2 | Jesus Enters Jerusalem as the King of Israel

The Triumphal Entrance fulfilled years of prophecy and marked a celebration of Jesus as the rightful King. But tensions were rising, and Jesus’ earthy success quickly unraveled through the cleansing of the temple as He challenged the status quo. The symbolism of these events and Jesus’ words predicting his death highlight His heart for the people and the nation of Israel. Unpacking these stories teaches us to have an eternal perspective on both earthly successes and trials.

Episode 3 | The Last Supper and the Betrayal of Jesus

After the Lazarus miracle, the religious authorities searched for a way to permanently be rid of Jesus. They found a willing accomplice in Judas, one of the Twelve. The Last Supper was a solemn moment of farewell and prediction of his betrayal. Jesus took this opportunity to share some crucial last words with his disciples – including Judas. This touching example can help us wrestle with the concept of free will and God’s everlasting love and grace.
