1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and…

Exegetical Point: Homiletic Point: Intro If you give me the option of watching a wordy drama, or an action flick, 9 times out of 10 I’m going to take the action flick!

13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” Palms were laid out before Jesus - as He made His way into Jerusalem…! WHY?

In his wonderful little book Orthodoxy, GK Chesterton asserts his own way into Christianity.

Verses 37-42 Notice that Jesus doesn’t call him Peter, He calls him Simon as He refers to the old fleshly nature of Simon... It was Jesus who first told Simon that His new name would be Peter, and now He is reminding him of who he is without Christ... 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and…

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
