6 Moments that Changed Everything: A Passion Week Reflection

Apr 14, 2025

Easter didn’t happen in an instant. It was preceded by moments—raw, emotional, powerful moments—that led Jesus to the cross. Each one reveals something essential about who He is and what He came to do.

In our Guided Journey to the Cross podcast, we walk through six of these defining scenes:

  1. The Triumphal Entry – Jesus enters Jerusalem to the shouts of “Hosanna.” It’s a moment of hope and expectation, and yet He knows where this journey leads.

  2. The Last Supper – Around the table, Jesus offers His body and blood, revealing a love that gives everything.

  3. The Garden of Gethsemane – In the stillness of the night, Jesus wrestles with what lies ahead. His surrender becomes our strength.

  4. The Trial and Denial – Jesus is betrayed and abandoned. Even Peter, His closest friend, denies Him. Still, Jesus presses on.

  5. The Crucifixion – On the cross, Jesus bears the weight of our sin, declaring through His suffering that we are worth redeeming.

  6. The Burial and Waiting – Silence settles. Hope seems lost. And yet, God is still at work in the unseen.

These six moments changed everything—for Jesus, for the world, and for each of us. We invite you to reflect on them with us as we journey toward Easter together.
