The hosts discuss Thursday - Sunday of Passion Week, with questions for listeners to reflect upon each day.

Passion Week Reflection Questions

Maundy Thursday (Maundy comes from the Latin word meaning “mandate” or commandment”) – Scriptures: John 13:1-17:26; Mark 14:12-42; Matthew 26:17-46; Luke 22:14.
Some questions we might consider on Maundy Thursday are:
·      When do we find it difficult to serve others in the name of Jesus?
·      How does Jesus redefine greatness when James and John want to know who is greatest among them?
·      How does remembering Jesus’ words during the Last Supper impact how you will view the Lord’s Supper in the future?
 
Good Friday (because Jesus provides us salvation for our sins) – Scriptures - Mark 14:43-15:47; Matthew 26:47-27:16; Luke 22:47-23:56; John 18:2-19:42).
On Good Friday spend some time reflecting on the following:
·      Even amid suffering on the cross, Jesus shows compassion to others. How do we show compassion to those who cause us to suffer?
·      What is so valuable to me, that the fear of its loss shakies the foundation of my faith?
·      Why is it important to pause and remember the death of Jesus before we celebrate his resurrection on Easter Sunday?

Holy Saturday – Scriptures: Matthew 27:62-66 and John 19:38-42.
On Holy Saturday we can ponder:
·      How do we deal with disappointment with God?
·      Why do you think the Jewish leaders asked for extra security at the tomb of Jesus?

Easter Sunday – Scriptures: Mark 16:1-8; Matthew 28:1-15; Luke 24:1-49; John 20:1-30) On Easter explore:
·      Read the various resurrection accounts and note the different emotions that were experienced by those who heard Jesus is alive. What would you have felt?
·      How can you follow Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples” in the days and weeks to come?
