Holy Week is the last week of Lent and the week preceding Easter Sunday. During Holy Week, we remember the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, the importance of the Last Supper with his disciples, and his suffering, death, burial and resurrection.

Central United Methodist Church Worship Design Team created this daily Holy Week devotion that allows you to read scripture, pray and listen to music that expresses the importance of this Holy Season.

JESUS CLEARS THE TEMPLE

Matthew 21: 12-17

12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

God’s Chosen Servant

15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. 16 He warned them not to tell others about him. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

Prayer: Gracious and Merciful God, thank You for demonstrating Your purity through the mission of Christ. Help us to remember that Jesus declared that Your house would be a House of Prayer. Equip us with the strength and courage to give correction where it is needed with confidence, power and love. Make us people whose word can be trusted and who are faithful, in love, to You, to our families, and to our neighbors. In Jesus Name, we pray, Amen.
