Follow along with the events of Easter week, leading to the death and resurrection of Jesus. Each day, scripture readings and reflection prompts will guide us to pause and meditate on the reality of Easter.
TUESDAY
READ
Mathew 21:23-32
PAUSE + REFLECT
- Reflect on the Authority that Jesus has. Knowing he has all authority (Colossians 1:16-17), how does that change the way you go about your day today?
- Jesus’ message of righteousness and repentance came to all people, even those seen as the lowest in society. Reflect on God’s heart for all people and ask him to soften your heart to see others like Christ sees them.
Family Worship
Each day, we’ve provided a family element for those with younger children (toddler – elementary) that ties into the theme of the adult devotional. Whether it’s in the morning, at mealtime or at bedtime - we encourage you to read, talk, and pray together! We’ve included both scripture and a passage from the Jesus Storybook Bible that goes along with the day’s theme. Choose whichever is best for your family for the daily reading. We’re praying for God to move in the hearts in your home this Easter.
READ ABOUT IT
A fun way to engage kids with scripture is to act it out!
Jesus Storybook Bible: Captain of the Storm (page 236)
Matthew 21: 23-27
TALK ABOUT IT
Guide discussion and let kids ask their own questions too!
1. Authority – that’s a big word – let’s talk about what that means.
2. Who in your life has authority over you? Who or what do you have authority over?
3. Can you imagine what it would be like to have authority over the weather?
4. Think about how powerful God is…how does that make you feel? Who can we call on when we are scared, worried, sad or afraid? Who can we call on when we need help?
PRAY ABOUT IT
Use PART to guide your prayer time and make it your own.
Praise | Wow God, you are…
Admit | God, I’m sorry…
Request | Please help…
Thanksgiving | Thank you for…
