What Happens in This Episode? We visit a party in this Jesus Stories episode. In our visiting, we are watching the other party goers to find out how they respond to Jesus’ presence there. We see gratitude. We see worship. We watch service. But we also see criticism. The question we ask is, what is my response to Jesus in this setting? Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:

What Happens in This Episode? In this Jesus Stories episode, as Jesus approaches Jerusalem he tells a parable of a rich nobleman. He visits the home of Simon the leper, whom he had healed. Simon hosts a party in his honor. Among the attendees are Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Mary anoints Jesus with oil – much to the dismay of some. Jesus finally rides into Jerusalem and is honored as the King he is. While the crowd shouts approval, the Pharisees plot to kill both Jesus and Lazarus. Jesus laments Jerusalem’s future fate when he enters the city, takes a look at the Temple and then leaves. Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE? In this Jesus Stores episode, we look at what Resurrection really means for those who follow Jesus. We explain the meaning of Resurrection – as Jesus would have us understand it – and what that means for our lives. There is some hard teaching here, but we need to seriously consider how the Resurrection makes following Jesus unique in the culture. SCRIPTURES REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE:
