Holy Week Devotionals

Web Holy Week Devo2

As we step into this sacred week, let’s slow down and open our hearts to the powerful story of Jesus—His life, His love, His sacrifice, and His victory. Whether you’re feeling weary, hopeful, or somewhere in between, these short devotionals are here to remind you that Jesus meets you right where you are. He is life, He sees you, He knows you by name—and He offers eternal hope that begins now. Let this be a week of drawing near, of finding peace in His presence, and of rediscovering the beauty of the Gospel.

MAUNDY THURSDAY - DEATH IS DEFEATED

Death is something we often avoid thinking about, but understanding its reality helps us grasp the incredible power of Jesus’ resurrection. He didn’t just mourn death—He conquered it. And because of His victory, death no longer has the final word.

How has knowing that Jesus defeated death changed the way you live today?

Watch this short devotional and reflect on the hope and confidence we have in Christ.

You are not alone. Jesus sees your pain, your struggles, and your heart. He is near, and His love is working even when you can’t see it.

Take a moment to rest in His compassion and share this message with someone who needs to know they are seen and loved.

HOLY WEDNESDAY - ETERNAL LIFE STARTS TODAY

Easter isn’t just about remembering—it’s about responding. Jesus offers us the gift of eternal life, but it’s not automatic. It requires a response of faith. And the best part? Eternal life doesn’t begin someday—it begins the moment we believe.

How does the reality of eternal life through Christ influence your daily decisions?

Watch this short devotional and reflect on what it means to truly trust in Jesus.

Eternal life is not just a future promise—it’s a present reality when we trust in Jesus. Live each day with the confidence that you are His, now and forever.

HOLY TUESDAY - JESUS KNOWS YOUR NAME

Have you ever felt unseen—like just another face in the crowd? The truth is, Jesus sees you. He knows your name. When He called Lazarus out of the tomb, it wasn’t just a display of power—it was deeply personal. And today, He’s still calling us by name, inviting us into restoration and life.

Where do you need to trust Jesus to step in personally and bring restoration?

Watch this short devotional and be reminded that Jesus is not distant—He is personal.

Jesus calls you by name because He loves you personally. He is not a distant Savior—He is close, inviting you into restoration and life.

Trust Him with your struggles, and encourage someone today by sharing this truth with them.

HOLY MONDAY - JESUS SEES YOU

If you're walking through grief, heartache, or uncertainty, know this—Jesus sees you. He isn’t distant from your pain; He steps into it with deep compassion. Just as He wept at Lazarus’ tomb and then moved to bring restoration, He sees what you're facing and is working in ways you may not yet see.

Where do you need to experience Jesus’ compassion and restoring power today?

Watch this short devotional and be reminded that His love is active.

You are not alone. Jesus sees your pain, your struggles, and your heart. He is near, and His love is working even when you can’t see it.

Take a moment to rest in His compassion and share this message with someone who needs to know they are seen and loved.

PALM SUNDAY - JESUS IS LIFE

Life can feel overwhelming, but as we step into Passion Week, we’re reminded of a powerful truth: Jesus isn’t just alive—He is life itself. In the face of suffering, betrayal, and even death, He chose to go through it all so that we could have hope.

How does knowing that Jesus is life itself change the way you see your struggles today?

Watch this short devotional and reflect on the hope we have because of Him.

No matter what you’re facing, take heart—Jesus is life itself, and in Him, we have unshakable hope. Let this truth carry you through this week and beyond.

Share this devotional with someone who needs encouragement today and remind them that hope is alive in Jesus!
