"GOOD FRIDAY"
By: Drew Staudenmaier

Scripture: Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 22:66—23:56; John 18:28—19:42

As you read through today’s passages try fully immersing yourself into the story. Put yourself in Jerusalem during first century and imagine the sights, the sounds and the smells of the city. Walk amongst the crowds as you follow the events of the day. Feel the intensity of the emotions rising throughout the day as the crowds grow ever more enraged demanding the blood of Jesus. Feel the despair and agony, not knowing the end of the story, as you witness this great, compassionate and miraculous man put upon a cross to die. Then sit in the silence of uncertainty as the night comes to a quiet and somber close.

One of the challenges of observing Good Friday is that we know how the story eventually ends, so we might already be celebrating the victory we have in Christ. However, this night is not a night of celebration, but rather an evening of mourning and reflection. Yet, despite witnessing the death of the Jesus, we do not mourn the death of our Savior, but rather the weight of our own sin. In recounting Jesus’ journey to the cross, we should feel the pain and sorrow of the price that was paid for our sin. Not to feel guilty, but to better understand the depth of God’s love for us and the weight that Jesus bore on our behalf. The book of Romans helps us to meditate upon the significance of the work of Jesus Christ…

“For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” - Romans 5:6-9 (ESV)

APPLICATION QUESTIONS:
(We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!)

- How has your sin harmed yourself and those around you?
- What are areas of your life that sin is still present?

PRAYER PROMPT:
Ask God to reveal your “blind spots” to sin. Where are some areas you need to be challenged in how you live or think? Take time to confess your sin before God. Be real, be detailed and specific. We cannot grow if we are being vague about the issues in our life. Ask the Holy Spirit for renewed conviction and strength as you battle sin in your daily life.

"MAUNDY THURSDAY"
By: Patrick Gainard

Scripture: Matthew 26:17-75; Mark 14:12-72; Luke 22:7-65; John 13-18

I grew up in a non-Denominational Christian church, so non-denominational that Lent and Ash Wednesday, Holy Tuesday, and Maundy Thursday were completely unknown to me. Everyone knows Good Friday and Easter, but Maundy Thursday? I didn’t know about this until my Lutheran girlfriend (now wife) brought me to a Maundy Thursday service. Since then, I’ve had greater appreciation and fascination for what we call Holy Week.

I wondered, why do they call it Maundy Thursday? Instead of it being Holy Thursday, why does Thursday get a special word. The word “Maundy” comes from the Latin mandatum, meaning “commandment.” It refers to Jesus’ command: “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (John 13:34). Out of this day, comes one of the most planet changing commands ever given. It wasn’t to seek revenge, or find fortune and fame, or even to be a good person. The command was simple: it was to love one another. On Jesus’ last day as a free man on earth, and he tells his friends to love one another. Like a parent on their deathbed hoping for their children to love each other after their gone. We are His children. How are you fulfilling this command? Who in your life have you not been able to love, even though they are a brother or sister in Christ?

Not only do we have Jesus’ new commandment of love, but Maundy Thursday also gives us one of the most important rituals or traditions of Christianity. Communion amongst the believers was founded on this Holy Day. I cherish that here at FCC we have communion each and every Sunday, including Children’s Church. Communion, whether taken weekly, monthly or daily is foundational to our faith. Every time we take it, we are asking for Christ to be a part of us and for us to a part of Christ. We’re remembering His sacrifice and how He conquered death. We’re looking for renewal and forgiveness through Christ to wash away our sins and make us pure and holy in front of our Father.

Communion is an incredibly complex time of reflection and introspection and veneration, so where is your heart and head during this time? Does it ever change or are your thoughts and prayers always the same? Communion is your time to dine with the King of Kings. Would you act differently if Jesus was sitting next to you?

APPLICATION QUESTIONS:
(We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!)

- Is there a “brother or sister” in your life right now that you are choosing not to love, and what is one step you can take to change that today?
- If Jesus were physically sitting next to you during Communion this Sunday, how would your focus, posture, and conversation change?

PRAYER PROMPT:
Prayerfully ask God to grant you the grace to love others, no matter the circumstance. Prayerfully ask God to give you wisdom to understand the magnitude of communion.
