Christ's Final Week - Wednesday

When it comes to Wednesday in the final week of Jesus' life, the Bible remains pretty silent as his activities. John 12:1 reveals that Jesus arrived in Bethany six days prior to Passover which would be on the following Thursday. Mark 14:1 reveals that the Passover is two days away. If Mark 14:1 is considered in context with the preceding verses describing Tuesday's activity, then do we have Wednesday. It is an unaccounted for day in the life of Jesus. I wonder what he was doing? How was he preparing for the Passover? How was he preparing for the greatest moment in the history of mankind - The Resurrection? Which leads me to some questions for your consideration today? What preparations are you making to celebrate Easter? Are you only planning for a traditional family meal? Or are you preparing yourself spiritually to renew your faith in Christ? Should this spiritual preparation be only once a year or should you be preparing yourself spiritually on a daily basis? I hope the latter is true.
