FRIDAY, APRIL 2
Scripture
Psalm 22
Devotion
Jesus is suffering on the cross. He is crying to God for help to rescue him as he hangs there. Everyone who sees him mocks him and is saying, “Is this the one who claims the Lord delights in him? We’ll believe it when we see God rescue him.” Jesus continues to suffer saying, “This gang of evil men circles me like a pack of dogs, they have pierced my hands and feet. I can count every bone in my body, they divide my clothes among themselves.”
Jesus begs the Lord to save him from his suffering. He promises to the Lord he will testify of the wonderful things you have done. “I will stand and praise you before all people. Generations yet unborn shall hear of all the miracles you have done for us.”
Jesus died a cruel death on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. His blood washes away our sins.
Prayer
Steadfast Lord, we are grateful for the love that you pour out to all throughout time, even when we don’t deserve it. Because of your love and actions, we can be reconciled to the Father. Help us to see your sacrifice and tell others about your abundant love. Amen.
