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?
The hosts discuss Sunday - Wednesday of Passion Week, with questions for listeners to reflect upon each day.
Passion Week Reflection Questions, Sunday - Wednesday
Palm Sunday – Scriptures: Matthew 21:1-11; John 12:12-36; Mark 11:1-10; Luke 19:29-44
On Palm Sunday some good questions to ask ourselves might be:
· How would you need to feel about someone to honor them in the way the crowd honors Jesus?
· What do you think it says about Jesus that he came into the city riding a young donkey?
· How have you seen God entering into your life in the past few weeks?
Holy Monday – Scriptures: Luke 19:45-20:8; Matthew 21:12-17; Mark 11:12-18
Some things on which to reflect on Monday of Holy Week might be:
· When injustice makes you angry, how do you tend to respond? Is your method leading towards justice?
· In the temple courts, sinful activity was getting in the way of worship. What activities can stand between you and God?
· What are some activities you could incorporate into your life to better focus on God?
Holy Tuesday – Scriptures: Mark 11:27-Mark 13:37; Matthew 21:23-25:46; Luke 20:1-21:36
On Holy Tuesday, we might ask ourselves:
· What does loving God with ‘all your heart, soul, mind, and strength’ mean to you?
· How are you ‘loving your neighbor as yourself’ in your life right now?
Holy Wednesday - Matthew 26:1-5; Luke 21:37-22:2 and Mark 14:1-11.
We can reflect on these questions on Wednesday:
· Why did the disciples react negatively to the woman’s using perfume to anoint Jesus’ feet?
· When do we find ourselves reacting this way towards someone’s generosity?
· How can you express your love for Jesus like the woman in this passage?
