Easter Launch
Welcome
Welcome to Week 1 of the Easter Reading Plan for 2023! This reading plan is designed to partner with Compassion Christian Church’s sermon series of the same name. This series will walk us through the final days of Jesus’ life, his death on the cross, his resurrection from that dead and his ascension to Heaven.
The focus of this season is on the resurrection of Jesus. Peter, a follower of Jesus who was present for his ministry, his death, and his resurrection, said this: “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance - an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.” 1 Peter 1:3-4
Because Jesus defeated death, we can be made new. We can have hope. We can trust that we also will be beyond the power of change and decay. May the truth of these things help you engage with this plan with wonder and joy!
Before We Start
As we enter this Easter season we will begin by following Jesus’ final days in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. All of the Gospels, the books that describe the life of Jesus, talk about this period of time in Jerusalem. For simplicity's sake, this plan will follow along with the Book of Luke.
