The Journey To The Cross – Part 2 Emmas Road

Today we continue our series on the Roads of Passion. These roads are roads found on Jesus way to the cross, the resurrection and the roads He asks us to walk on in our own lives.

Last week traveling on the Jerusalem road led us to the triumphal entry. Today the Emmaus road leads us into triumphal living with the risen Lord.

The events of the week seemed anything but triumphal. They were confusing and discouraging.

Pharisees ask Jesus to quiet His disciples. 19:39-40

Jesus cleanses the temple. 19:45-46

Chief Priests, scribes & leaders seek to destroy Jesus. 19:47-48

Religious leaders question Jesus’ authority. 20:1-8

Jesus questioned of loyalty and taxes. 20:20-26

Judas bought to betray Jesus. 22:1-6

Jesus betrayed & arrested. 22:47-54

Jesus mocked and beaten. 22:63-65

Falsely tried before the Sanhedrin. 22:66-71

Taken before Pilate. 23:1-5

Pilate sends Jesus to Herod. 23:6-12

Pilate hands Jesus over to be crucified. 23:26-43

Jesus is crucified and dies. 23:44-49

Jesus is buried. 23:50-56

Women to tomb on Sunday morning and find the body of Jesus gone. 24:1-5

You have to admit its not what makes for a great time of celebration this time was meant to be. But their discouragement and hurt would be turned into triumphs of belief on the Emmaus road.
