What Was Jesus Doing the Sunday and Monday Before He Died?

Those of us who have walked through the first two days of holy week (Sunday's triumphal entry and Monday's rumble in the temple) in our regular Sunday morning services, know most of the details of these first two days. Jesus knew the time was right for God's ultimate plan of redemption.

Andreas Köstenberger sees that first day (Palm Sunday) as a claim to kingship that flew in the eye of the Roman authorities. John gives us a glimpse into this, as Jesus is brought before Pilate:

He did so out of love for you.
