What Happens In This Episode This Jesus Story episode continues our look at the Sermon on the Mount. We move from the Beatitudes to woes – the opposite of blessings – for those who are not seeking and submitting to Jehovah. Jesus then considers the character of his followers as salt and light and addresses what may have been some misconceptions about his teaching raised by the religious leaders of the day. He contrasts the teachings of the law with the teaching of those religious leaders, specifically addressing six teachings. We talk about the first two of those teachings.

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:
