Holy Monday

Holy Monday – A Crowd’s Change of Heart
Holy Monday occurred one day after Palm Sunday. Only one day before Holy Monday, the Pharisees had ordered Jesus to silence the crowd’s joyful praises (Luke 19:37–39). Five days later, Pilate would not be able to silence a crowd who condemned the Son of God (Luke 23:22–25). What did Jesus do and say during this final week that caused the crowd’s conflicting responses? Jesus would use this second day of what we now call Holy Week to demonstrate genuine faith in God and to affirm His Messianic authority.
