A Guide to The Cross Holy Week

A GUIDE TO THE CROSS

In all four Gospels we find an account of the last week of Jesus’ life. These six days are the undoing of sin and death and the beginning of the new creation. Starting on Sunday at the triumphal entry in Jerusalem and ending on the Sunday of the resurrection our Lord accomplishes the salvation and redemption of all of creation.

This is a reading plan from the gospels for all six days with accompanying Psalms. There will also be passages from the resurrection as well. May you be edified this week as you contemplate the work of our Lord and the love that the Father has shown us in sending His Son to die for us and pouring out His Spirit upon us so that we may be made new creatures.

God Bless,

Pastor Wes Clark

Six days before the Passover, Jesus therefore came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. (Jn. 12:1)
