The Prediction/Repentance Matthew 21:23-25:4
Tuesday of Holy Week is often called “Busy Tuesday” because Jesus did a lot of speaking. The morning of Tuesday he spoke to his disciples. Many of his parables are about repentance. He also had some conversations with the Pharisees and Sadducees. They were trying to trap Jesus and expose him as a hoax. But Jesus kept pointing to the truth that he was the Messiah. His evening was spent talking about the End Times and the End of the Earth and that He was going to come back again and for his followers to be prepared at all times. He truly was busy.
As you read through Jesus’s Tuesday pay attention to his selfless, wondrous love. Consider how he spent his last days offering his loving forgiveness to those who were orchestrating his murder.
Reflect on how, because of Jesus, we have the forgiveness we desperately need to face our Judgment Day with confidence and consider areas in your own heart that need repentance and reflect of the parables about “being ready” for His return. Are we ready for his return?
