The Last Supper

The Last Supper was the final meal Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion, described in the New Testament gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) and I Corinthians. During this Passover meal, Jesus established the Eucharist by taking bread and wine, stating they represented his body and blood, given for the forgiveness of sins. He also predicted his betrayal by one of the disciples, washed their feet as a lesson in service, and gave them a new commandment to love one another.

The Good Samaritan

The parable of the Good Samaritan, from the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament, tells of a man attacked by robbers, who is ignored by a priest and a Levite but ultimately rescued by a Samaritan. The Samaritan tends to the man's wounds, takes him to an inn, pays for his care, and promises to cover any further expenses.Jesus uses this story to teach the meaning of "neighbor" and to urge listeners to show mercy and compassion to all, regardless of their background

Jesus Raised Lazarus From The Dead

Jesus performed many miracles including healing unwell people and even bringing some back to life. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead by going to his tomb, instructing onlookers to remove the stone from the entrance, and then calling out loudly, "Lazarus, come out!" Lazarus emerged from the tomb, physically alive, and bound in his burial cloths, which Jesus then told the people to remove. He did this as a Lazarus was a close friend and to show Gods power over all things, even death.

Jesus Prays In The Garden

Jesus's prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane was a profound moment of agony and submission to God's will after the Last Supper, where he asked if his suffering could be avoided but ultimately yielded to the Father's plan. During this prayer, he was filled with anguish, he asked God to strengthen him, as the Gospels recount his human struggle to accept the impending crucifixion for the sins of the world. He asked his disciples to pray for his but they fell asleep.

Jesus Is Crucified

During the crucifixion Jesus was nailed to a cross and left to die. He endured mocking and physical pain. Jesus's death on the cross was an act of atonement for humanity's sins, and without his death we would not have new life.

Jesus Will Return

Once day Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead. He will create a new Heaven and a new Earth and all things will be made right.
