Introduction We often move quickly from Palm Sunday to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. But in doing so, we can miss something profoundly important. Holy Week is not just about the final events\u2014it is about the unfolding decisions that lead to them. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are not empty days. They are the days where truth is declared, tension rises, and loyalties are revealed. Let\u2019s step into those days together\u2014and discover what they mean for us today. Holy Monday \u2014 Confrontation and Cleansing On Monday, Jesus returns to Jerusalem and immediately confronts what is broken. He enters the Temple and drives out the money changers, declaring that God\u2019s house is meant to be a place of prayer, not profit. Then, in a symbolic act, He curses a fig tree\u2014an image of outward life with no inward fruit. This is a day of spiritual clarity. It asks us a powerful question: What needs to be cleansed in our lives? Monday is about honesty, courage, and the willingness to deal with what is not right. Holy Tuesday \u2014 Teaching, Truth, and Urgency Tuesday is one of the most intense days of Jesus\u2019 public ministry. He teaches openly in the Temple, engages with religious leaders, and delivers some of His most important parables\u2014calling people to readiness, responsibility, and faithfulness. He also speaks about the future, urging watchfulness and awareness. This is a day of truth. Tuesday asks: Are we listening? It reminds us that truth is not just to be heard\u2014it is to be lived. Holy Wednesday \u2014 The Silent Day Wednesday is often quiet in the Gospel accounts\u2014but beneath the surface, everything is shifting. Plans are being made. Betrayal is being arranged. Judas agrees to hand Jesus over. At the same time, a woman pours out expensive perfume in an act of devotion and love. This day holds a profound contrast: Devotion and betrayal. Love and calculation. Wednesday asks: Where do I stand? It is a day of decision\u2014often made in silence. Putting It All Together The flow of these days tells a powerful story: Monday: Clean house  Tuesday: Clarify truth  Wednesday: Choose your allegiance  By the time Thursday arrives, the direction has already been set. Holy Week is not just history\u2014it is a mirror. Things to Remember \u2022 God is not interested in appearances\u2014He desires authenticity.  \u2022 Truth, once heard, carries responsibility.  \u2022 Quiet decisions often shape our greatest outcomes.  \u2022 The most important choices are often made before the spotlight appears. Things to Share \u2022 Share the idea that Holy Week includes meaningful \u201chidden days.\u201d  \u2022 Encourage others to reflect on what Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday represent.  \u2022 Invite conversation about what needs to change, grow, or be decided.  \u2022 Remind others that faith is lived in daily decisions\u2014not just big moments. Things to Act On \u2022 Take time to \u201cclean house\u201d in one area of your life.  \u2022 Revisit a truth you know\u2014but may not be fully living.  \u2022 Make one clear decision about who you are and what you stand for.  \u2022 Choose devotion over distraction, clarity over compromise. Closing Call to Action This Holy Week, don\u2019t rush to the ending. Live the middle. Because Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are where the real work happens. If you\u2019re serious about building a life\u2014and a business\u2014that matters, start here. Clean house. Speak truth. Make your choice.
