Part I
In the sixth chapter of Fisk’s book Norm travels to the Mount of Olives. The main topic of the chapter is the passion story of Jesus. Norm discusses the resurrection of Lazarus and notices how it was different from both the window’s son and Jairus’s daughter seeing as only Lazarus was dead for more then a day (188). Norm then looks at the similarities between Jesus and Solomon’s descent into Jerusalem. Norm stated that some saw Jesus’s donkey ride as a reenactment of Solomon’s inaugural descent (200). The last section of the chapter discussed Judas’ death and why he betrayed Jesus with the last supper details.
Part II
Jesus riding the donkey into Jerusalem causes a big scene and may have been the spark to light the flame, which led to Jesus’ eventual crucifixion. The parallels between Jesus and Solomon was interesting and really made me wonder if Jesus was just following the way Solomon had done it. The differences in the last supper stories intrigued me. Only in Matthew was Jesus’ death referred to as an offering for sin (226). Only in Mark did Jesus have his disciples drink the wine before he says it is his blood (226).
