Daily Bible Reading— April 2025, God’s Strengthening Word: Assurance of Hope in Christ JesusSample

Introduction
John 20:1–18: Today’s reading is another account of Jesus’s resurrection. When Mary Magdalene goes to Jesus’s tomb, she sees that the stone has been rolled away. She runs to tell the disciples, believing that someone took Jesus’s body from the tomb. Peter and John come and see the empty tomb. Then Jesus appears to Mary and tells her that he is going to return to God. Mary then tells the disciples that she has seen the Lord. She is the first witness to Jesus’s resurrection.
Today’s Key Verse: John 20:16
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him and said in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (This means “Teacher.”)
Reflect
What is Mary’s message to Peter and the other disciple after seeing the empty tomb (verse 2)? What do they do? How do they react? What does Jesus say to Mary (verse 17)? How will you share the good news of Jesus’s resurrection today?
Pray
Alleluia! Lord Jesus, I continue to celebrate the joy of your resurrection. Be my teacher and empower me to proclaim this good news to all I meet today. Alleluia! Amen!
Tomorrow’s Reading
John 20:19–31: Jesus appears to the disciples.
