The week leading to the crucifixion & resurrection
The Week Leading to Jesus’ Crucifixion and Resurrection
If we consider the Gospel of John a sort of “Day Planner” for Jesus, we have nearly complete activity recorded for two weeks of the earthly ministry of Jesus. The first is in John 1:19—2:11 where activity for six of the seven days is recorded. I think the omitted day is the Sabbath.

The next nearly complete week is the last week, leading up to the resurrection. John gives more attention to the last week than any other Gospel. Even here we have activities for only six of eight days. This section begins in John 12:1 and continues into John 20. Here is the way I have reconstructed it. Where John does not record the activity I have…

A Hymn For Today — Thine Is the Glory
Thine is the glory, risen, conqu’ring Son;
Endless is the vict’ry Thou o’er death hast won;
Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave clothes where Thy body lay.
Lo! Jesus meets thee, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly He greets thee, scatters fear and gloom;
Let His church with gladness hymns of triumph sing,
For her Lord now liveth; death hath lost its sting.
No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life;
Life is naught without Thee; aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conqu’rors through Thy deathless love:
Bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above.
[Refrain]
Thine is the glory, risen conqu’ring Son;
Endless is the vict’ry Thou o’er death hast won.

A HYMN FOR TODAY – Christ, the Lord, Is Ris’n Today
A HYMN FOR TODAY
Christ, the Lord, is ris’n today,
Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say,
Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply,
Alleluia!
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Alleluia!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell,
Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids His rise,
Alleluia!
Christ hath opened paradise,
Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King,
Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save,
Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave?
Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ hath led,
Alleluia!
Foll’wing our exalted head,
Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise,
Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies,
Alleluia!

A HYMN FOR TODAY – He’s Risen!
A HYMN FOR TODAY
He’s Risen!
Night is over; the morning breaks.
The sun has risen on this first day,
Just like the morning when Mary cried,
“He’s risen! I’ve seen Him! The Crucified!”
Night is over; how bright the day
That dares to step inside the grave
And shout to all, “Awake and see:
He’s risen! Christ Jesus of Calvary!”
Night is over; Lord, send the day
To lift the veil where death once lay.
Unseal our hearts; we, too, would sing,
“He’s risen! My Savior! My Lord! My King!”
Irr. – C.E. Couchman, 1997
Tune: RISEN! – C.E. Couchman, 1997

HE’S RISEN! expresses that, for the believer, each first day of the week is as bright with hope as the morning of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It also links that sunrise to the way the darkness of death in our lives will be banished by our risen Lord. (Mt. 27:66; Lk. 24:1-6; Jn. 20:6-8, 18; 2 Pet. 1:19)
A HYMN FOR TODAY – Come, See the Place Where Jesus Lay
A HYMN FOR TODAY
Come, see the place where Jesus lay,
And hear angelic watchers say,
“He lives, who once was slain:
Why seek the living midst the dead?”
Remember how the Savior said
That He would rise again.
O joyful sound! O glorious hour,
When by His Father’s mighty pow’r
He rose and left the grave!
Now let our songs His triumph tell,
Who burst the bands of death and hell,
And ever lives to save.
The first begotten of the dead,
For us He rose, our glorious head,
Immortal life to bring.
What though the saints like Him shall die?
We share our leader’s victory,
And triumph with our king.
No more we tremble at the grave,
For Jesus will our spirits save
And raise our slumb’ring dust.
O risen Lord, in You we live;
To You our ransomed souls we give,
To You our bodies trust.
O ransomed, let your praise resound,
And in your Master’s work abound,
Steadfast, immovable.
Be sure you labor not in vain;
Your bodies shall be raised again,
No more corruptible.

A HYMN FOR TODAY – Again the Lord of Light and Life
A HYMN FOR TODAY
Again the Lord of light and life
Awakes the kindling ray,
Unseals the eyelids of the morn,
And pours increasing day.
O what a night was that which wrapped
The heathen world in gloom!
O what a Sun which rose this day
Triumphant from the tomb!
This day be grateful homage paid
And loud hosannas sung;
Let gladness dwell in every heart
And praise on every tongue.
Ten thousand different lips shall join
To hail this welcome morn,
Which scatters blessings from its wings
To nations yet unborn.
