Matthew 26:3, 4

Wake up… Put on a stiff new outfit… Watch children battle over plastic eggs like their lives depend on it… Does this sound like Easter to you? Join in as we take a fresh, deeper look at the Easter season and the hope it’s meant to bring!

For many of us, the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection is a familiar one. But, what about the week before? The days that lead up to Jesus’ death are filled with stories that give us insight into how he fulfilled God’s plan for creation in an unexpected, but powerful way. Experience his humanity and love for us as you walk with him through his final week on Earth.

As Savior, Jesus walked among our mess and pain. He is also King of all—holy, mighty, and just. For the next seven days, we will be reading through portions of the Gospels, reflecting on what we can learn about following Jesus as we study and honor His death and resurrection.

Enter into Holy Week with this plan designed to provide a special time alone with the Lord. Each day, you will be prompted to pause, ponder, and pray through a passage in the Gospel of Matthew. Your heart will be encouraged, your faith strengthened, and your prayer life enriched as you prepare for Easter. May it enrich your walk with the Lord for years to come.
