Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Isaiah 53:3

Every year, the whole world gathers for a week-long commemoration of the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ—a truth that is of first importance. Together, let’s reflect on how God’s desire for us to be in an intimate relationship with Him was ultimately fulfilled through the finished work of His Son, Jesus.

The devotionals in this eight-day series focus the reader’s attention on the final week of Jesus’ life and the circumstances surrounding his death, burial, and resurrection. When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, he entered a city filled with political strife, fear and uneasiness. Following Jesus’ actions and interactions each day gives readers a clearer understanding of the context of the events that serve as the foundation for Christian faith.

The hope of Jesus was prophesied and earnestly expected for generations. One day, that promise of hope was fulfilled right in Israel’s midst. Everything changed for the entire world at that moment when that dream became a reality. Join us this Christmas as we look at both the promises and their fulfillment through the scriptures surrounding Jesus’ birth!
