April 7
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.
Scripture Reading
Matthew 27:27-56
Today’s Key Verse: Matthew 27:54b
They were terrified and said, “He really was the Son of God!”
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 his death, in verse 46, Jesus cried out to God, quoting from Psalm 22:1. Whenever you feel most alone, in what ways do you experience a sense of 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.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Matthew 27:57-66: Jesus is buried.
