Daily Bible Reading – April 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of Hope

DAY 10 OF 30

  

April 10

Introduction

Soldiers mock Jesus, nail him to a cross, and then gamble for his clothes.

Passersby jeer and yell, and even the criminals crucified on either side of Jesus scorn him. Jesus cries out that he has been completely abandoned. At his death, the curtain in the Temple is torn in two and the earth shakes. The women who had followed Jesus look on from a distance.

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 27:54b

They were terrified and said, “He really was the Son of God!”

Today’s Reading 

Matthew 27:27-56

Reflect

God’s entrance into the world through Jesus was a way for God to be fully present with us and understand human suffering, abandonment, and loneliness. At this death, Jesus cried out to God, quoting from Psalm 22:1 (verse 46). Whenever you feel most alone, what do you need in order to trust that God is with you?

Pray

Loving God, thank you for your steadfast love and presence in my life, even in my darkest moments. Heighten my awareness of your grace amid my struggles. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who feel lost or abandoned

Tomorrow’s Reading

Matthew 27:57-66: Jesus is buried.
