Day 2: Jesus Visits His Friends
Even though it wasn't safe, Jesus knew it was God's plan for him to go to Jerusalem.
Jesus knew that he was going to die. Can you imagine what was going through his mind? If you knew you were going to die soon, what last things would you do first?
Before entering Jerusalem, Jesus wanted to visit his good friends, Lazarus, Martha, and Mary. So on Friday, Jesus stopped at their home in Bethany, just outside of Jerusalem.
While Jesus was with his friends, one of his own disciples, Judas, snuck out of the house. He went to ask the chief priests, "What will you give me if I help you find Jesus?"
There were six days left till the Passover Festival.
Have you ever had a friend betray you? Did you forgive them? Do you think Jesus forgave Judas?
