Our father Abraham offered his son Isaac on the altar. Wasn’t he considered to be right with God because of what he did?

So they tied him up and led him away. Then they handed him over to Pilate, who was the governor.

“ He himself carried our sins” in his body on the cross.( Isaiah 53:5) He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives.“ His wounds have healed you.”( Isaiah 53:5)

As they all approached Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage. It was on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent out two disciples.He said to them,“ Go to the village ahead of you. As soon as you get there, you will find a donkey tied up. Her colt will be with her. Untie them and bring them to me.If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them. The owner will send them right away.”This took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would come true. It says,“ Say to the city of Zion,‘ See, your king comes to you. He is gentle and riding on a donkey. He is riding on a donkey’s colt.’ ”( Zechariah 9:9)The disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.They brought the donkey and the colt. They placed their coats on them for Jesus to sit on.A very large crowd spread their coats on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.Some of the people went ahead of him, and some followed. They all shouted,“ Hosanna to the Son of David!”“ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:26)“ Hosanna in the highest heaven!”When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up. The people asked,“ Who is this?”The crowds answered,“ This is Jesus. He is the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”Jesus entered the temple courtyard. He began to drive out all those who were buying and selling there. He turned over the tables of the people who were exchanging money. He also turned over the benches of those who were selling doves.He said to them,“ It is written that the Lord said,‘ My house will be called a house where people can pray.’( Isaiah 56:7) But you are making it‘ a den for robbers.’ ”( Jeremiah 7:11)Blind people and those who were disabled came to Jesus at the temple. There he healed them.The chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did. They also saw the children in the temple courtyard shouting,“ Hosanna to the Son of David!” But when they saw all this, they became angry.“ Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.“ Yes,” replied Jesus.“ Haven’t you ever read about it in Scripture? It says,“‘ Lord, you have made sure that children and infants praise you.’ ”( Psalm 8:2)Then Jesus left the people and went out of the city to Bethany. He spent the night there.Early in the morning, Jesus was on his way back to Jerusalem. He was hungry.He saw a fig tree by the road. He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it,“ May you never bear fruit again!” Right away the tree dried up.When the disciples saw this, they were amazed.“ How did the fig tree dry up so quickly?” they asked.Jesus replied,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. You must have faith and not doubt. Then you can do what was done to the fig tree. And you can say to this mountain,‘ Go and throw yourself into the sea.’ It will be done.If you believe, you will receive what you ask for when you pray.”Jesus entered the temple courtyard. While he was teaching there, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him.“ By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked.“ Who gave you this authority?”Jesus replied,“ I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.Where did John’s baptism come from? Was it from heaven? Or did it come from human authority?” They talked to one another about it. They said,“ If we say,‘ From heaven,’ he will ask,‘ Then why didn’t you believe him?’But what if we say,‘ From human authority’? We are afraid of the people. Everyone believes that John was a prophet.”So they answered Jesus,“ We don’t know.” Jesus said,“ Then I won’t tell you by what authority I am doing these things either.“ What do you think about this? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said,‘ Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’“‘ I will not,’ the son answered. But later he changed his mind and went.“ Then the father went to the other son. He said the same thing. The son answered,‘ I will, sir.’ But he did not go.“ Which of the two sons did what his father wanted?”“ The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. Tax collectors and prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God ahead of you.John came to show you the right way to live. And you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. You saw this. But even then you did not turn away from your sins and believe him.“ Listen to another story. A man who owned some land planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it. He dug a pit for a winepress in it. He also built a lookout tower. He rented the vineyard out to some farmers. Then he moved to another place.When harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the renters. He told the slaves to collect his share of the fruit.“ But the renters grabbed his slaves. They beat one of them. They killed another. They threw stones at the third to kill him.Then the man sent other slaves to the renters. He sent more than he did the first time. The renters treated them the same way.Last of all, he sent his son to them.‘ They will respect my son,’ he said.“ But the renters saw the son coming. They said to one another,‘ This is the one who will receive all the owner’s property someday. Come, let’s kill him. Then everything will be ours.’So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard. Then they killed him.“ When the owner of the vineyard comes back, what will he do to those renters?”“ He will destroy those evil people,” they replied.“ Then he will rent the vineyard out to other renters. They will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”Jesus said to them,“ Haven’t you ever read what the Scriptures say,“‘ The stone the builders didn’t accept has become the most important stone of all. The Lord has done it. It is wonderful in our eyes’?( Psalm 118:22, 23)“ So here is what I tell you. The kingdom of God will be taken away from you. It will be given to people who will produce its fruit.Anyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces. But the stone will crush anyone it falls on.”The chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ stories. They knew he was talking about them.So they looked for a way to arrest him. But they were afraid of the crowd. The people believed that Jesus was a prophet.

Christ set us free from the curse of the law. He did it by becoming a curse for us. It is written,“ Everyone who is hung on a pole is under God’s curse.”( Deuteronomy 21:23)

Then Noah built an altar to honor the Lord. He took some of the“ clean” animals and birds. He sacrificed them on the altar as burnt offerings.

Here is the part of Scripture the official was reading. It says,“ He was led like a sheep to be killed. Just as lambs are silent while their wool is being cut off, he did not open his mouth.

He suffered the things we should have suffered. He took on himself the pain that should have been ours. But we thought God was punishing him. We thought God was wounding him and making him suffer.But the servant was pierced because we had sinned. He was crushed because we had done what was evil. He was punished to make us whole again. His wounds have healed us.All of us are like sheep. We have wandered away from God. All of us have turned to our own way. And the Lord has placed on his servant the sins of all of us.He was treated badly and made to suffer. But he didn’t open his mouth. He was led away like a lamb to be killed. Sheep are silent while their wool is being cut off. In the same way, he didn’t open his mouth.He was arrested and sentenced to death. Then he was taken away. He was cut off from this life. He was punished for the sins of my people. Who among those who were living at that time tried to stop what was happening?He was given a grave with those who were evil. But his body was buried in the tomb of a rich man. He was killed even though he hadn’t harmed anyone. And he had never lied to anyone.The Lord says,“ It was my plan to crush him and cause him to suffer. I made his life an offering to pay for sin. But he will see all his children after him. In fact, he will continue to live. My plan will be brought about through him.

Instead, he made himself nothing. He did this by taking on the nature of a servant. He was made just like human beings.He appeared as a man. He was humble and obeyed God completely. He did this even though it led to his death. Even worse, he died on a cross!

Abraham had faith. So when God tested him, Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham had held on tightly to the promises. But he was about to offer his one and only son.God had said to him,“ Your family line will continue through Isaac.”( Genesis 21:12) Even so, Abraham was going to offer him up.Abraham did this, because he believed that God could even raise the dead. In a way, he did receive Isaac back from death.

The reason my Father loves me is that I give up my life. But I will take it back again.No one takes it from me. I give it up myself. I have the authority to give it up. And I have the authority to take it back again. I received this command from my Father.”

The Lord appeared to Abram at Shechem. He said,“ I will give this land to your family who comes after you.” So Abram built an altar there to honor the Lord, who had appeared to him.

Lead a life of love, just as Christ did. He loved us. He gave himself up for us. He was a sweet- smelling offering and sacrifice to God.

It was very early in the morning. The chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law, and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they tied Jesus up and led him away. Then they handed him over to Pilate.

In the same way, Christ was offered up once. He took away the sins of many people. He will also come a second time. At that time he will not suffer for sin. Instead, he will come to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

The Lord is God. He has been good to us. Take branches in your hands. Join in the march on the day of the feast. March up to the corners of the altar.

Then God said,“ Take your son, your only son. He is the one you love. Take Isaac. Go to the place called Moriah. Give your son to me there as a burnt offering. Sacrifice him on the mountain I will show you.”Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took two of his servants and his son Isaac with him. He cut enough wood for the burnt offering. Then he started out for the place God had shown him.On the third day Abraham saw the place a long way off.

Jesus finished saying all these things. Then he said to his disciples,“ As you know, the Passover Feast is two days away. The Son of Man will be handed over to be nailed to a cross.”Then the chief priests met with the elders of the people. They met in the palace of Caiaphas, the high priest.They made plans to arrest Jesus secretly. They wanted to kill him.“ But not during the feast,” they said.“ The people may stir up trouble.”Jesus was in Bethany. He was in the home of Simon, who had a skin disease.A woman came to Jesus with a special sealed jar of very expensive perfume. She poured the perfume on his head while he was at the table.When the disciples saw this, they became angry.“ Why this waste?” they asked.“ The perfume could have been sold at a high price. The money could have been given to poor people.”Jesus was aware of this. So he said to them,“ Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.You will always have poor people with you. But you will not always have me.She poured the perfume on my body to prepare me to be buried.What I’m about to tell you is true. What she has done will be told anywhere this good news is preached all over the world. It will be told in memory of her.”One of the 12 disciples went to the chief priests. His name was Judas Iscariot.He asked,“ What will you give me if I hand Jesus over to you?” So they counted out 30 silver coins for him.From then on, Judas watched for the right time to hand Jesus over to them.It was the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The disciples came to Jesus. They asked,“ Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover meal?”He replied,“ Go into the city to a certain man. Tell him,‘ The Teacher says,“ My time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover at your house with my disciples.” ’ ”So the disciples did what Jesus had told them to do. They prepared the Passover meal.When evening came, Jesus was at the table with his 12 disciples.While they were eating, he said,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. One of you will hand me over to my enemies.”The disciples became very sad. One after the other, they began to say to him,“ Surely you don’t mean me, Lord, do you?”Jesus replied,“ The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will hand me over.The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But how terrible it will be for the one who hands over the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”Judas was the one who was going to hand him over. He said,“ Surely you don’t mean me, Teacher, do you?” Jesus answered,“ You have said so.”While they were eating, Jesus took bread. He gave thanks and broke it. He handed it to his disciples and said,“ Take this and eat it. This is my body.”Then he took a cup. He gave thanks and handed it to them. He said,“ All of you drink from it.
