Holy Week, Day One
Last night at Ikon we kicked off Holy Week with our Palm Sunday gathering and today we begin a series of readings leading up to Easter. You are welcome to participate with us here or at the Ikon Community website.
Today read Matthew Chapter 21 and Zechariah 9:9-17 and contribute your thoughts to the comments below.
Questions for Reflection
- Based on the prophecy in Zechariah 9, what would your expectations have been of Jesus if you were a Jew in that crowd?
- If Jesus is the promised messiah, why do you think he did and said these things in Matt 21? Are his actions and teachings consistent with Zechariah 9?
- What do you think Jesus is trying to get across in Matt 21?
