Day 42 of 50

READING GUIDE
  • Read today's devotion below and Matthew 21.
  • During days 36-42 (at your own pace) read chapter 19 from Joining Jesus on His Mission.
  • After days 36-42, meet with your small group and follow the back-of-the-book discussion guide for SESSION 6.

"And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, 'Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!'” (Matthew 21:9 ESV)
The Hebrew word for Hosanaa, Hhoshiah nnah, means “Save now!” What does this say about the urgency of Jesus' mission to save those...

who do not yet know Him, 
who are lost in sin,
who are addicted to things that would harm them (and those around them),
who are broken, 
who have never known grace, 
who have been abused, 
who have been persecuted, 
who have been bullied, 
who have received no mercy, 
and so on? 

What does the urgency of "Save now" say to you as you join Jesus on His mission?



In the last days of this 50-day journey, we will continue looking to Jesus and His mission. We'll look deeply into his last days as found in Matthew 22-28. We will hear from Him. After each day's readings, we will then ask ourselves, "What do I think Jesus wants me to do now?"
