Readings Leading up to Easter Weekend

There is no greater love than the love our God showed the world by sacrificing his perfect son so that we, who are full of sin, could dwell in the glory of God for eternity.  Don’t you want to live in this moment for all the other 364 days of the year?

Take a long pause each day (starting Saturday, March 6th and ending Good Friday, April 2nd) to think about this amazing love!  These are some great passages to use in your quiet time as you remember what happened in Jerusalem and at Golgotha so many years ago:

  • Isaiah 53:10 (the will of God)
