Holy Week: Preparing Your Heart for EasterExemplo

Holy Week: Resurrection Sunday 

Bible Reading: Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24

He is Risen! 

What a day to celebrate all that Jesus did on behalf of every soul who has and will walk this earth. His love for us is that great!

As you go through your life, don’t just remember what Jesus did during this season. Make this a part of your regular practice! How? Incorporate the pieces of reflection that we did throughout this plan.

• Study the Bible passages you read or go through another Bible Reading Plan.
• Worship God for who He is in the passages you read each day.
• Pray over the people in your life and those you want to see accept Jesus.
• Remember what God has done for you and how He has walked you through difficult seasons in life.
• Examine yourself by asking God to help you become self-aware so that you can grow into the best version of yourself.
• Always look for little and big ways that you can do kind acts for those around you—those you know and those you don’t know.

During this 8-day Plan, our hope is that you grew to love God more through His sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus, and His glorious resurrection. Take this love, this hope, this joy, this peace with you each day and allow it to not only transform your life, but the lives of people you come in contact with. 

God is our all-powerful, all-knowing, all-encompassing Heavenly Father, and He’s absolutely smitten with you.

Further Study

• Who told the women that Jesus had risen from the dead?
• How did Jesus appear to the disciples? (Luke 24)
• What was the last thing Jesus told His disciples before He was taken up into Heaven? 
• Where was Jesus sitting in Heaven?

Reflect

• Worship: Write down one attribute of God and worship Him for who He is. 
• Prayer: Pray for the people you work or go to school with.
• Remembrance: Think about how you would have felt to see Jesus alive after watching Him die. What would it have taken for you to believe it was Him?
• Self-Examination: How often do you think about what Jesus did on the cross for your sins? Consider making this a habit where you offer Him your praise and thanks.

A Kind Act

Of all the kind things you did during this Plan, do 2-3 of them before the day is over. Then, make your own list of kind acts that you can do every day going forward.
