(Responding to Luke 22:47-23:46)
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your only Son for us. Jesus, thank You for enduring the excruciating

separation and the weight of the world’s sin, for our sake. Thank You that the story does not end in darkness and death, but we look forward to Sunday, knowing that You alone defeated death and rose again, so that we might come to know new life. May we recognize the gravity of this day, yet not lose sight of the joy and hope held in You, our overcoming One. May many come to know You this week, as so many are willing to walk into church and will hear Your word. Let Your love, light and hope be heard, held and received. Amen.
