The readings over the next several days relate Jesus walk to the Cross, the trial, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension.
The story of Jesus ministry of but a few years has been told.
Or has it?
It seems to me so much has been left out. In my view, these Essential stories should have been included:
The beginning of Jesus ministry, as he reads the scroll of Isaiah, showing God's preference for the poor and the outcast. Luke 4:16:20
Jesus and the rich young ruler, defining our attitude towards money. Luke 18:18-23
Jesus' only direct reference to how we shall be judged, by how we treat "the least of these". Matthew 25:31-46.
Pretty much all of the Gospel of John, but especially:
The Samaritan woman at the well. John 4:1-42
Jesus as the bread of life John 6:22-51
Jesus prays for his disciples. John 17
What passages of the Gospels would you consider Essential?
