Holy Wednesday- Jesus Rested and Prepared for Passover

This picture depicts Jesus in Bethany, on the Wednesday of Holy Week. The Bible does not give an account for the day’s events, but it is thought that Jesus and his disciples returned there for the night and day to rest. A few nights earlier, in Bethany, Jesus was lovingly anointed by Mary, Lazarus’ sister.

Today’s Activity:

Spend some time in prayer with the Lord. Rest in Him. Jesus needed a day of rest and time with his loved ones and his Father. Scripture says in John 5:19, “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the son also does.

What does the verse mean to you concerning taking a day to rest, especially after having such a difficult day?
