"These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name."

Here is a list of key events that took place in the last days of the Savior's mortal ministry.

Day One: Jesus arrives at Jerusalem
               Rode through the city gates on palms and praises
               Went to the Temple and took notes
Day Two: Went again to the Temple and challenged the Jews' leadership
               Cleared the Temple courts which were used as markets and made it clear that His house is a house
               of prayer
Day Three: Was challenged by the Jewish leaders in the Temple
               Taught them paribles and principles and denounced them as hypicrites
               From now on, only taight to His twelve
               One of Jesus' own disciples offered to betray Him
Day Four: Jesus knew of this plot
               Stayed outside of the city
Day Five: Introduced the sacrament
               Saw His death and indicated who would betray Him
               Offered His intercessory prayer
               Went into the Garden of Gethsemane and the atonement began
               He bled from every pore and suffered beyond comprehension for us
               A band led by Judas took the submitting Christ away to an illegal trial
Day Six: Indicted of crimes from both the Jewish and Roman governments; of blaspheme and sedition
               death sentence pronouned
                Jesus was crucified
               He voluntarily gave up His spirit
               Before nightfall, His body was removed into a tomb by two reverring disciples.
Day Seven (Sabbath): Jesus Christ remained in the tomb
Day of the Resurrection: Jesus Christ emerged alive form the tomb and appeared before Mary

I would just like the bare my testimony that I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Before we came to earth, He volunteered to die for us, so that we could return to our Father in Heaven. I love Jesus Christ so much. What He did for me and for all of us is beyond comprehension, and I am so grateful. and forever in debt.
