Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer
Today’s Reading: Psalm 48:1-8
Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
LORD God,
I thank you
because you live within us!
Help me to let my light shine
in my city or community,
whether it is large or small, urban or rural.
Your Holy Spirit has come
to live within your people.
Amen.

St-Takla.org –Jesus Arrested
Lent Reading:
Jesus Arrested
Then Simon Peter,
who had a sword,
drew it and struck the high priest’s servant,
cutting off his right ear.
(The servant’s name was Malchus.)
Jesus commanded Peter,
“Put your sword away!
Shall I not drink the cup
the Father has given me?”
Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander
and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus.
They bound him
and brought him first to Annas,
who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,
the high priest that year.
Caiaphas was the one
who had advised the Jewish leaders
that it would be good if one man died for the people.
(John 18:10-14).

This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
(1 John 4:10 NIV)

Ideal for the Season of Lent
Watch the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.
Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.
Get a front-row seat to the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.
Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.
