Good Friday


Scripture References: Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 18 & 19

*Please read and meditate on these Scriptures*


Summary: Jesus is handed over to the Roman authorities to be Crucified. Also known as Christ’s Passion, Jesus suffered this agonizing, torturous death for the sins of mankind. 

                   Prayer

Lamb of God,

You are the Suffering Servant prophesied in Isaiah 53. Your Crucifixion was more than physical death. You took upon Yourself the sins of the entire world. You offer us pardon from the guilt and condemnation of sins. Your death atones and restores us to the honor of being God’s children. Through your blood, the powers of darkness are defeated. 

As we meditate on Your death, Lord, cause us to see our sins in differently. Our sins nailed You to the Cross. Help us to meditate on Your Passion. Forgive us for taking Your death lightly. Cleanse us, forgive us and heal us.

Amen

Holy Wednesday

        Scripture Reference: Luke 22:1-6 Summary: As the Passover Feast approaches, the chief priests and scribes begin conspiring to kill Jesus. They discover they have an ally, Judas Iscariot, who agrees to betray Jesus for a price.                        Prayer Holy Savior, Many times we criticize Judas for betraying You. But how often have we betrayed Your Holy Majesty through our sins? Through our irreverence and sacrilege?  Lord, forgive us! Make us clean! Remove idolatry from our hearts and Give us hearts with total and committed loyalty to You. Let us not be entangled with the things of this world, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. Renew a right spirit within us and help us to abide in You. Amen

Holy Week Update

  Hello Everyone! Holy Week starts tomorrow and I just wanted to give you some updates. I am still planning on working on the Daniel devotions. I haven’t forgotten about them. I’ve been busy with work, church and just being exhausted.  As for Holy Week, I decided to do something different. Instead of writing my insights on Holy Week Scriptures (like I did last year), I decided to write prayers for each day. The Bible command us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Also, it is impossible to have a devotional life without prayer. I will post the Sculpture references and encourage reading them as well as praying. Also feel free to look back at the Holy Week devotionals from last year.  May God bless you as you pursue Him!
