Matthew 27:4

Ježíš ví, co ho čeká, přesto neutíká z Jeruzaléma. Ježíš jde vstříc svému osudu. Ačkoliv prožije velmi těžké chvíle, Ježíš zvítězí. Vybavují se nám Ježíšova slova z 24. kapitoly: “Ten však, kdo vytrvá až do konce, bude zachráněn.” Po tom všem utrpení Ježíš vítězně vešel do Božího království a usedl na královský trůn. Pojďme si vychutnat Jeho slávu.

The final week in the life of Jesus was no ordinary week. It was a time of bittersweet goodbyes, lavish giving, cruel betrayals and prayers that shook heaven. Experience this week, from Palm Sunday to the miraculous Resurrection, as we read through the Biblical account together. We will cheer with the crowds on Jerusalem’s streets, shout in anger at Judas and the Roman soldiers, cry with the women at the Cross, and celebrate as Easter morning dawns!

Let’s slow down this Holy Week and learn from Christ’s final days on earth. Each day we will receive lessons or gifts that He took the time to give. Do you need a fresh reminder of what mattered most to Christ—that you love His people and follow Him? What could He want to teach you this Holy Week?

The weeks before Christmas are full of joy and anticipation, and they’re a great opportunity to reflect on Christ’s birth. Help your children countdown to Christmas with this 28-day reading plan! Each day features a short scripture reading and an engaging activity that will help your family remember what God did for us this season.
