Holy Week is not just a series of events—it is a journey.
From Palm Sunday to the cross, Jesus is moving with purpose. Each day, He travels between Bethany (where He stayed—near Lazarus, Mary, and Martha) and Jerusalem (where He taught, confronted, and prepared for the cross).
Every step… every teaching… every moment…
Was leading to Good Friday and ultimately Resurrection Sunday.
The Rhythm of Holy Week
Jesus would leave Bethany in the morning…
Enter Jerusalem and teach…
Then return in the evening.
This wasn’t random—it was intentional.
In Jerusalem, He proclaimed truth publicly
In Bethany, He received rest, relationship, and worship
This shows us something powerful:
Ministry flows from intimacy with God—not just activity for God.
WEDNESDAY — A Different Kind of Teaching
While much of Holy Week involves public teaching, Wednesday shifts the focus to something deeper and more personal.
Scripture Focus: Matthew 26:6–13
Jesus is in Bethany, at the house near Lazarus—the very man He raised from the dead.
A woman comes and pours costly oil on Him.
The disciples call it waste.
Jesus calls it worship.
HE SAYS:
She has done a good work for Me
What Jesus Was Teaching on Wednesday
This wasn’t a sermon with a crowd.
THIS WAS A MOMENT THAT REVEALED THE HEART
1. Worship Is Not Measured by Logic, But by Love
The cost didn’t make sense to others—but it meant everything to Jesus.
Application:
True worship is not about what is reasonable—it is about what is surrendered.
2. Jesus Receives Personal Devotion
In the middle of a busy, intense week—Jesus stops and honors this act.
Application:
Jesus values your personal relationship with Him more than public performance.
3. Some Will Always Misunderstand True Faith
Even the disciples criticized what they did not understand.
Application:
Do not let others define your devotion to Jesus.
4. Worship Prepares Us for the Cross
Jesus said this act was preparing Him for burial.
Application:
Worship aligns our hearts with what God is doing—even when we don’t fully see it.
5. The Gospel Is Worth Everything
What looked like loss was actually eternal significance.
Application:
Nothing given to Jesus is ever wasted.
THE BIGGER PICTURE OF WEDNESDAY
Monday: Jesus cleansed
Tuesday: Jesus confronted
Wednesday: Jesus received worship
Thursday: Jesus served
Friday: Jesus was crucified
Wednesday is quiet—but powerful.
It reminds us:
Before the cross… there was worship.
Final Thoughts
Jesus was moving back and forth between Bethany and Jerusalem…
Between public ministry and private devotion…
And on Wednesday, He shows us:
-What matters most is not what we do for God—
But what we give to Him.
-True worship is costly, personal, and centered on Jesus
-This Holy Week, don’t just follow the story—enter into it.
Sit at His feet. Worship Him. Give Him your best.
