Matthew 8:12

I’ve always felt that God has a special place in His heart for the soldier. Out of 195 countries in the world, only a handful commemorate a day set aside to honor those who died for their country. May we honor those who died for their nation, while giving honor to Jesus, who laid down His life for our freedom from sin! We honor Jesus by becoming His soldiers!

The vocations represented in the characters of the Easter narrative can teach us a lot about God and how our work is a means of co-laboring with the Risen King. In this four-day plan, we’ll look at the vocations of the disciples at Gethsemane, Joseph of Arimathea, Peter, and Jesus’s first followers to draw out applications for our own work today.

Who do you follow? Whether it be an influencer, a musician, or an athlete, we follow people because we want to know what they are doing - we want to feel like we are close to them. In this plan, we will take a hard look at what it means to be a follower of Jesus!

This reading plan takes you through some of the themes in Season 4, Episode 4 of The Chosen: Calm Before. Reflect, dive into the Bible, and enjoy what Jesus has to say to you.
