37 Each day Jesus was teaching at the temple, and each evening he went out to spend the night on the hill called the Mount of Olives, 38 and all the people came early in the morning to hear him at the temple. (Luke 21:37)

Jesus, I am grateful that you are our great Prophet to reveal to us the future that you have in store for those you love.

Today is Tuesday of "Holy Week," and we finding point to praise God in this special week.

What I am want to highlight today is that fact that today marks the day that Jesus is in the temple teaching amongst everyone openly, and he is dropping some of the most profound and studied truths in all of scripture.

Some call during this day, the things Jesus taught as the Olivet Discourse,  which is Jesus' prophecy of the end times found in Matthew 24.

This day is the day that Jesus addresses what is erred and reveals what has not been understood by most. Some of the those teachings are:

1. The parable of the two sons, and the parable to wicked tenants. This was prophetic to say the religious leaders would reject and kill Him.

2. The parable of the wedding banquet, which taught that the Israel community on a whole would reject him and deny his salvation in attempt to keep Judaism.

3. Marriage in the Resurrection, which taught there will be a resurrection, correcting the erred doctrine of the Sadducees.

4. The Identity of the Messiah, which taught that David could not be the messiah, seeing he asked the Lord to sit at his right hand.

5. Jesus gave the 7 woes to the religious leaders, prophetically telling them what God was ready to do about their corrupted leadership.

6. The destruction of the Temple, which was a prophecy that would come to pass in the generation of those listening (which actually did happen).

***All of these references can be found in the following chapters:
Matthew 21:23–24:51, Mark 11:20–13:37, Luke 20:1–21:36, and John 12:20–38.

The point is, Jesus is our great prophet that teaches us accurately the way of God, informs us of what is about to happen, and corrects what years of religious tradition has done to our freedom in Christ.

1. Let us all thank God that he decided before he died to make sure we knew his plans.

2. Let us all thank God that Jesus decided to be bold enough to correct years of tradition, religious order, and established hypocrisy in the church.

3. Let us thank God, that he did not allow his fear of death get in the way of coming into the tempe courts and letting the common people know the ways of GOd, even though it would ultimately cost him his life.

Today is beautiful day to read and reflect on Jesus' last teachings before he dies. When a person is nearing death, their last words are typically their most important, and here, we say that Jesus saved his most important teachings for last!

Thank You Jesus, for Holy Tuesday!
