WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR NEXT?
Jesus Stories is close to the end of the telling of the life of Jesus. What would you like to hear after we finish this story? I have three suggestions to throw out.

The first option is to continue Jesus Stories by talking about the Jesus Stories which are created in the lives of the Apostles as the church is established and spread throughout the Roman Empire. This narrative will come from the book of Acts and other sources as appropriate. We’ll use this time to talk about some of Paul’s letters which were written in the same time period as the book of Acts.
The second option is to jump back to the beginning of the scriptures and talk about the book of Genesis – the most foundational book in all of the Bible. Not only will we tell those stories, but we will look at how these stories point forward to Jesus and what they teach us today.
Our final option is to back to the gospels and tell Jesus Stories from the individual gospels. In other words, we start with Matthew and tell of Jesus life and teachings from Matthew’s narrative. Then we follow up with Mark, Luke, and finally John. (This is my preference!)

What Happens in This Episode?
We visit a party in this Jesus Stories episode. In our visiting, we are watching the other party goers to find out how they respond to Jesus’ presence there. We see gratitude. We see worship. We watch service. But we also see criticism. The question we ask is, what is my response to Jesus in this setting?

What Happens in This Episode?
In this Jesus Stories episode, as Jesus approaches Jerusalem he tells a parable of a rich nobleman. He visits the home of Simon the leper, whom he had healed. Simon hosts a party in his honor. Among the attendees are Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Mary anoints Jesus with oil – much to the dismay of some. Jesus finally rides into Jerusalem and is honored as the King he is. While the crowd shouts approval, the Pharisees plot to kill both Jesus and Lazarus. Jesus laments Jerusalem’s future fate when he enters the city, takes a look at the Temple and then leaves.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?
In this Jesus Stores episode, we look at what Resurrection really means for those who follow Jesus. We explain the meaning of Resurrection – as Jesus would have us understand it – and what that means for our lives. There is some hard teaching here, but we need to seriously consider how the Resurrection makes following Jesus unique in the culture.
