DAY 11 OF 30

  

April 11

Introduction

Joseph of Arimathea buries Jesus’s body, and Mary Magdalene and the other Mary keep watch at the tomb. Pilate sends soldiers to guard the tomb as well, in order to prevent Jesus’s disciples from stealing his body and claiming he had been raised from death.

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 27:59, 60a

So Joseph took it, wrapped it in a new linen sheet, and placed it in his own tomb, which he had just recently dug out of solid rock.

Today’s Reading 

Matthew 27:57-66

Reflect

Mary Magdalene and others keep the first Easter vigil at Jesus’s tomb. It is a time of mourning over the past and hoping for the future. On this day before Easter, reflect on your past year, and consider how you can better follow Christ as you prepare to celebrate his resurrection.

Pray

Lord Jesus, I await your coming. Renew my spirit and prepare my heart to experience the joy and grace of your resurrection. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are grieving the death of a loved one

Tomorrow’s Reading

Matthew 28:1-20: Jesus is raised to life.
