But Pilate is accompanied by a retinue of chariots, horses, and foot soldiers, dressed for battle and armed with swords and spears.&nbsp;Upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After staying the night in nearby Bethany, Jesus returns to Jerusalem on <strong>Holy Monday<\/strong>, where he finds the temple courts filled with corrupt money changers. He literally turns their tables upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On <strong>Holy Tuesday<\/strong>, religious leaders see Jesus healing in the temple and hear some children shouting \u201cHosanna!\u201d &nbsp;and these actions make them furious. (Huh? Upside down.) Jesus starts to teach \u2013 many of Jesus\u2019 teachings in the gospel of Matthew about feeding the hungry, visiting those in prison, clothing the naked, giving to the poor, service as a sign of greatness, occur on this day. The leaders become particularly angry when they realize that he indicts them in his condemnation of \u2018false prophets.\u2019 They begin to plot an ambush and Jesus is forced into hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That afternoon, Jesus goes to the Mount of Olives with his disciples. He tells them that he will be handed over to be crucified. Meanwhile one of Jesus\u2019 disciples tries to strike a deal with those who want Jesus arrested. \u201cWhat will you give me if I betray him to you?\u201d (Yes, one of his closest friends betrays him \u2013 upside down.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus returns to Bethany to spend the night. Scripture is silent about the events of <strong>Holy Wednesday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On <strong>Maundy Thursday<\/strong>, Jesus sends Peter and John ahead into Jerusalem to secure a place for the Passover meal. That night, Jesus does an astonishing thing by taking off his outer robe, getting on his knees, and doing the job of a slave by washing his disciples\u2019 feet. And then he says that they should do likewise. That love does likewise. Upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this meal we call the Last Supper, he shares bread and wine with them and says that this is his body and blood \u2013 and every time his followers eat and drink of it, they will remember him. And Jesus gives <strong>all <\/strong>of the disciples this gift of the bread and wine \u2013 even the one he knows will betray him. Upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the meal, Jesus goes outside into a garden (the Garden of Gethsemane) to pray. Knowing what is about to take place, Jesus prays in agony. Luke\u2019s gospel says that his sweat becomes like drops of blood falling to the ground. Just as he finishes praying, Judas arrives and betrays Jesus\u2026not by pointing a finger in anger but with a <em>kiss<\/em> of all things. (Upside down.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early <strong>Good Friday<\/strong> morning, Judas is overcome with remorse and hangs himself. Meanwhile Jesus is accused, condemned, mocked, and beaten. He\u2019s spit on; scourged; and pierced with a crown of thorns. A weak Roman ruler by the name of Pilate does not believe Jesus is guilty, but out of \u2018expediency\u2019 and for political gain, he breaks the law and sentences him to death by crucifixion anyway. (Upside down.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roman soldiers obey an unjust order and nail him to a cross. No one protests. Jesus dies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But\u2026but\u2026but\u2026in the greatest \u2018upside down\u2019 ever, death does not hold him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we get to Easter though, experience Holy Week. &nbsp;Wave the palms, hear the story of the passion, receive the supper, contemplate the cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See you on Sunday and Thursday and Friday next week as the drama of Holy Week unfolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pastor Jen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holy Week is an exercise in how God turns the world and its priorities and preferences upside down.
