Daily Bible Reading – April 2023 God’s Saving Word: HopeНамуна

April 5
Introduction
Jesus grieves and prays in Gethsemane in preparation for his betrayal and arrest. His disciples fail to keep watch and fall asleep. Jesus is arrested and brought before the chief priests and the Council where he is accused of blasphemy. The chapter concludes with Peter denying that he knows Jesus.
Scripture Reading
Matthew 26:36-75
Today’s Key Verse: Matthew 26:64b
[Jesus said:] “From this time on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right side of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of heaven!”
Reflect
In today’s reading, Judas betrays Jesus and Peter denies Jesus. What reason did they have for doing so? Are there ways in which people betray or deny Jesus today? If so, what examples can you cite?
Pray
Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that at times I may have betrayed you and turned away from your teachings. Forgive me and make me ever aware of your love and sacrifice for my sake, that I may follow your ways. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Matthew 27:1-26: Jesus is taken to Pilate, the Roman governor.
