The Hope of Easter | 5-Day Easter Reading Plan

Year after year during Passion Week, we remember the gift of salvation offered to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But what happens after He is risen? Does the Passion of Christ end? This 6 Day reading and video plan reveals how Jesus continued to pursue his disciples after He rose from the dead, and still persists to pursue us, the body of Christ, today.

The Pursuing Passion of Our Risen Lord

“In these next days and weeks leading up to Easter we’ll explore different scriptures. Each verse a thread in the tapestry of God’s great big redemption story – all culminating in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this Easter season, let’s slow down and create a regular rhythm of remembrance together.” (Lent – Lucy Weil)

Journeying to Easter - Part 1

Over the next two weeks, we'll follow the Easter story as we remember there is always a glimmer of hope, even in the deepest darkness. We'll talk about how Jesus is with us in the darkness and explore what it means that Jesus is the light in the darkness.

This seven-day devotional traces Jesus's final journey to Jerusalem, from his first announcement of what awaited him there to his arrival in nearby Bethany. Through Scripture readings and reflections, we’ll put ourselves in the shoes of Jesus’s companions—experiencing their hopes, fears, and moments of faith. As we witness Jesus's unwavering resolve in the face of what lies ahead, we'll consider what it truly means to follow him, even when God's plans challenge our expectations.

For the Joy Set Before Him: Jesus's Final Journey to Jerusalem

I will never forget the last week of my husband’s life on earth or the suffering he endured silently. I will never forget his last breath, the deep sorrow I felt while having peace in my heart that his life was just beginning! As we are in the season of Easter, join me on the journey of Jesus’ last week on earth that brought hope to the world!

The Last Week

I have crafted this 5-day devotional with the intention to guide you towards a more profound connection with God, and to help you find fulfillment in your connection to Him. 

Let's get started.
