Scripture Reading Plan
When reading Mark 13-14, Luke 21-22, and Matthew 26, observe how Jesus establishes the Lord’s Supper, foretells Judas’ betrayal and Peter’s denial, and agonizes in Gethsemane, revealing His deep humanity. Notice the disciples’ weakness and Jesus’ unwavering faithfulness. His unjust trial highlights spiritual blindness, yet He boldly declares His identity. Reflect on how Jesus’ teachings challenge us to remain faithful, trust God in suffering, and live with urgency in His Kingdom.
