After Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead, the religious authorities in Jerusalem heard how popular Jesus was becoming. Jealous of his influence, they decided that they needed to get rid of him. They began plotting how to put Jesus to death when he came to Jerusalem for the festival.

Lesson Prayer
Heavenly King, your Son Jesus knew the greatest sorrows and trials of humanity. He was rejected and betrayed. Forgive us for the times we reject him by turning our backs on others or not devoting our lives to Christ. Help us to understand that we have a Savior who knows our deepest pain and understands us even better than we understand ourselves. We thank you for your mercy and lovingkindness,in Jesus’ name. Amen.
