Give Up Your False Kings (5 of 5)

Good morning. We’ve been taking this period of Lent to focus on the last week of Jesus’ life, leading up to the cross. And really, a lot of those key events took place at the very end of that week, right? Thursday night at the Last Supper, and then early on the morning of Good Friday.
