Mark 15:6-47

PAUSE + REFLECT

• How does an accurate understanding of the brutality of the cross change your view of the price that was paid for your sin?

• The price for sin was paid once and for all on the cross. It is finished! In what areas of your life do you need a renewed understanding of Christ’s finished work?

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.

TALK ABOUT IT
Guide discussion and let kids ask their own questions too!

1. Jesus was God and can do anything, so why didn’t he come down off the cross?
2. How do you feel when you read about the pain that Jesus had to experience?
3. What happened to the earth in the moment that Jesus died on the cross?
4. What questions do you have about this story?
