This 30 day devotional and Bible reading plan grew from a reading plan I developed for my children during the Advent season. As a homeschool mom, I decided to create a list of scriptures to bring deeper meaning to our Christmas celebration. So, I chose scriptures that prophesied the coming of the Messiah throughout the Old Testament and culminated in the reading of the Christmas story together as a family during the week of Christmas.
We loved the study! Each day, the kids would open their Advent calendar and they would get some candy and a Bible reading for the day. It truly did add deeper meaning to the season. After a few years of using the plan, I began to share the reading plan with other families. Everyone really enjoyed it. So now I’ve taken the plan, reorganized it, and written daily devotionals to add to the experience. We’ve also been working on some Christmas music to go along with the study.
Looking to get to know Jesus? Take the next 40 days to read through the main Scripture passages of the final week of His life on the Earth. As you read the passages that are printed for you in this book, you will be lead to reflect on Jesus’ amazing life and ministry. Why are we focusing on just the final week? As you will discover, this week defined what Jesus had come to do. You will read about His teaching, healing, and confrontations. You will also learn about His death, burial and resurrection which are at the very core of His purpose. You will see how the events of the final week changed the world. You’re invited on this 40-day devotional journey down the road to life!
