Holy Week Reading

Please consider reading through some Bible scriptures we found for Holy week. Take time this week to celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Sunday, April 2 reading: Read Luke 19:28-42 and Zechariah 9:9
Reflection: How often do you praise God for coming into your life?

Monday, April 3 reading: Luke 19:45-20:8
Reflection: Think about your body as the temple. What does Jesus need to clean to be truly honored?

Tuesday, April 4 reading: Read Luke 20: 1-40
Reflection: Have there been times when Jesus’ truth has seemed harsh to you or hard to follow. Did you grumble and back away? Did you question Him?

Wednesday, April 5 reading: Read Luke 20:41-47 & Luke 22:1-6
Reflection: It is sometimes hard to be a disciple of the truth and the way. Sometimes we want Jesus to do what we want or act the way we feel He should. Think on this and how that led Judas astray.

Thursday, April 6 reading: Read Luke 22:7-46
Reflection: Jesus told us when we break bread (eat a meal) to remember Him. Do you say “grace” before you eat? Think of the disciples. His disciples couldn’t keep awake even one hour to pray with Him. Tonight see if you can spend one hour praying with Jesus. Scripture tells us He prays for us unceasingly.

Friday, April 7 reading: (Good Friday) Today, sometime between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. stop for a few moments to reflect on Jesus’ death on the cross. Read Luke 22:47 – 23:48 and John 19:1-37
Reflection: Consider watching a movie about the life and death of Jesus with your family. Keep in mind He did this all for YOU.

Saturday, April 8 reading: Read Luke 23:50-56 and John 19:38-42.
Reflection: As you prepare for Easter, think of what Jesus is doing for your sake even though you can’t see Him.

Sunday, April 9 EASTER reading: Read Luke 24 and John 20.
Reflection: Listen to a song about Jesus defeating death and praise His name for HE IS RISEN!!!
