During Holy Week, meditate on this:

Monday:
What is the story you’ve heard about the cross? How does it shape you? How does it affect your picture of who God is and what he is doing through Jesus? What does the book of Luke say about why Jesus had to die?
Read: Luke 22-23
Watch: The Bible Project: Gospel of Luke Ch. 19-23

Tuesday:
The gospel is more than “Jesus died for my sins so I can go to heaven.”
The gospel is the announcement that the Kingdom of God is here and Jesus is the king.
Read: Luke 8:1; Luke 9:1; Luke 11:1-4; Luke 13:18-21; Luke 16:16-17
Watch: The Bible Project: Gospel of the Kingdom

Wednesday:
The cross where Jesus begins the new Exodus. He is defeating the oppressive powers and setting his people free from slavery.
Read: Exodus 15:1-21
Watch: The Bible Project: The Day of the Lord


Thursday:
The gospel is for all people. Jesus is taking the good news to the poor—all of those who have been left on the margins.
Read: Genesis 12:1-2
Read: 1 Kings 17:1-24; Luke 4:16-30
Read: Luke 19:1-12 


Friday:
The cross is the ultimate example of love and forgiveness, where sin, hatred and violence are defeated through radical forgiveness.
The cross is the event where Jesus defeats death by entering into it and stripping it of its power.
Read: Colossians 2:14-15
The cross is paradoxically, the event where God becomes king.
Read: Luke 1:46-55
Read: Luke 22:66-71
Watch: The Bible Project: The Son of Man 


Saturday:
All of this should shape us to live in the new reality that God is king, the kingdom has come, and that God is making his world right through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Read: Revelation 21:1-5
Watch: The Bible Project: Heaven and Earth
