As I listened to the preacher give a sermon about the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem. I could hardly wait for the event that was going to take place after church. The event was the reenactment of the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem. According to the bible Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey while the townspeople laid down palm branches in his path (Suzanne 4). The reenactment was only a small part of the Holy Week. The Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday and Ends on Easter Sunday. Throughout the week

JOHN 19 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him: Pilate effectively proclaimed Jesus "not blameworthy‚" so to scourge Him now was a gross bad form.

Who is Jesus and why does he matter to me?

It is no accident that Denis Johnson’s Jesus’ Son opens with a bloody‚ fatal car wreck on a rainy two-lane highway under a spread of “Midwestern clouds like great grey brains.” This incident from “Car Crash While Hitchhiking” sets the stage and the tone for what follows: a series of head-on collisions that Johnson’s narrator—an on-the-run junkie—encounters over the course of eleven electrifying stories.

records the seven great “I AM” statements of Jesus‚ each one used to give insight into His person‚ His deity‚ and how He relates to God in the OT. “Seven times John records Jesus saying‚ ‘I am…‚’ attaching it to a metaphor.
