Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your time, then read one or all of the following Scriptures.

Reflect on the devotional, and answer the questions to dive in deeper!

• Devotional: On Good Friday, we stand in awe before the cross and witness the Savior bearing the full weight of our sin. Jesus, perfectly holy and innocent, is condemned and crucified, taking upon Himself the punishment we deserved. The sky darkens and the earth trembles, yet in His suffering He surrenders fully to the Father’s will. His death reminds us of the seriousness of our sin and the immeasurable depth of God’s mercy. As we meditate on this sacrifice, Lent calls us to lay down pride, guilt, and self-reliance, receiving His grace with reverent awe. In the shadow of the cross, we are reminded that nothing—not our failures, not our fears, not even death itself—can separate us from the love of Christ, who endured everything for our redemption!
