Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Luke 23:43

Arrested in that garden, Jesus endured two sham trials and the most unjust verdict in all history. The Creator of the cosmos, crucified by His creatures on a hill outside Jerusalem. From that awful site, Christ would speak His “last seven words.” You’ll find reflections on each of these seven words in the following pages. As you read these devotional articles, we pray that you’ll ponder their significance and gain encouragement from the promise of the hope that blooms eternally.

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are described in each of the four gospels. This Easter, read about how Jesus endured betrayal, suffering, and humiliation on the cross before changing the world through the hope offered by His resurrection. A short video illustrates part of the story for each day of this plan.

Over these 7 days, we are going to focus on the seven sayings of Jesus.  We want to go to the cross and we want to draw some principles, some disciplines, and some habits that we can begin to implement in our lives to help us grow stronger in our walk with the Lord. We want to zoom into these sayings and pay attention to the words not of a dying man but of our Lord and Saviour.  Join us on this journey together as we approach Resurrection Sunday 2025.

Together, we'll confront our critical hearts, learn how to correct others with love, and ultimately discover the freedom that comes through forgiveness. Join this journey and allow God to transform how you see others, not through the lens of judgment but with the eyes of grace.
