In Bible Study last Monday night, we read Exodus 12 to remember the significance of the Passover celebration that brought Jesus to Jerusalem the final week of His earthly life. During Passover Week, Jerusalem at the time of Christ would increase from normal population of approximately 40,000 to 250,000 people. We discussed the major political unrest in Jerusalem under the rule of Rome and the heightening confrontations between Jesus and the religious leaders. On the eastern side of Jerusalem, Jesus of Nazareth rode into the city on a donkey in a humble procession of peace. As with recorded tradition on the same day, Roman Governor Pilate would have ridden into the western side of Jerusalem in a military parade with hundreds of armored foot and horse soldiers to remind the people of Romes military presence, might, and dominance over them. This coming Monday we will study the second day in the final week of Jesus life.
