Passion week Devotional.

I put together a devotional for this the passion week of Christ. It has a NT reading corresponding to the events of that day in this passion week of Jesus, it also as an OT passage showing how Jesus fulfilled a specific Messianic prophecy, a suggested song to sing, then a thought provoking question. I hope you find it useful, and more importantly I hope it brings you closer to Christ.
