Daily Scripture & Questions
Luke 23; John 18-19 Each account of Jesus' trial and crucifixion adds more details to our understanding of what happened. What are new facts that you have picked up on in today's readings? Why do the accounts, not being the same as one another, help support the fact that the Gospels are giving us reliable, historical accounts rather than made-up stories that everyone agrees upon?
Family Devotions—Scripture & Questions
Read John 19:16-37. How many different references to Old Testament prophecies can you find in this passage? What does the fulfillment of these prophecies tell us about the death of Jesus? Does this help you to trust God's plan for history in general and for your life in particular?
Biblical Prayer Focus
PRAY: Ezra 9:13-14 And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, seeing that you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserved and have given us such a remnant as this, shall we break your commandments again and intermarry with the peoples who practice these abominations? Would you not be angry with us until you consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?
Ask God to show you how much pain your sinful choices have brought upon yourself. Then seek His help in hating your sin and having the strength to choose what is right even when your feelings are pulling you in another direction.
