Holy Tuesday
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 transformation and reflect of the parables about “being ready” for His return. Are we ready for his return?

Holy Week Devotions:  Monday – The Cleansing

Matthew 21:12

“Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves.”

Matthew 21:12 NLT

One of the first things Jesus did when he entered Jerusalem was go to the temple and clean it out. Just like he does when he enters a persons life. He goes straight to the temple, to the things we worship above him. He cleans out whatever is not Gods plan. This process is sanctification which simply put, it is us getting rid of anything that distracts us from God. Jesus knows what stands between us and God. It could be sin, prejudice or grudges, old hurts, feelings of inferiority, unforgiveness, etc. Whatever brings destruction in our lives and the lives of others must go.

Consider today what in your life needs to be transformed. What is Jesus asking you to submit to His transformational love today.
