As soon as it was morning, having held a meeting with the elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, the chief priests tied Jesus up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. So Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews? ” He answered him, “You say so.” And the chief priests accused him of many things. Pilate questioned him again, “Aren’t you going to answer? Look how many things they are accusing you of! ” But Jesus still did not answer, and so Pilate was amazed. At the festival Pilate used to release for the people a prisoner whom they requested. There was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion. The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom. Pilate answered them, “Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you? ” For he knew it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed him over. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he would release Barabbas to them instead. Pilate asked them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the one you call the king of the Jews? ” Again they shouted, “Crucify him! ” Pilate said to them, “Why? What has he done wrong? ” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him! ” Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them; and after having Jesus flogged, he handed him over to be crucified.

What happened as Jesus walked through the final days of His time on earth? This six-day plan looks at the events of Holy Week as recorded in the gospel of Mark. Prepare your heart for Easter as we study together and reflect on THE LIFE that changed all our lives for eternity!
Night is a special time of day. Not it's active part, but the time when we move from all our meetings, conversations, and business – to sleep. There were some special nights in the lives of Jesus' disciples. A few nights before Christ’s Resurrection. Let’s take a look at them.
Easter is a time to reflect on the immense sacrifice that Jesus made for us in His death on the cross and celebrate the phenomenal gift we’ve been given through His defeat of death on that cross. This is week one of three weeks that will journey through the Easter season, reflecting on the final hours of Christ. It will consider the betrayal and suffering He endured and reflect on the character of our Saviour King, who laid down His life for us.
