Day 30 of the 40 Days of Prayer, 1 Day of Celebrations
Monday, March 19, Day 30 of the 40 Days of Prayer, 1 Day of Celebration: The 2018 prayer focus in preparation of our worship of Christ for His death for our sins and the celebration for His resurrection that gives us eternal life.
Verses for the Day:
Luke 23:1-5 Then the whole body of them got up and brought Him before Pilate. And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King.” So Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answered him and said, “It is as you say.” Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.” But they kept on insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea, starting from Galilee even as far as this place.”
Prayer for the Day:
Lord Jesus, You are King of the Jews and Lord of my heart. You are the rightful, eternal sovereign. You remained faithful even in the presence of such evil. You bore our reproach and You took on our rejection by submitting Yourself to these worldly authorities. You took my place so that I might be with You forever.
