What a week it has been! We watched Egypt reel under the final plagues before Israel walked free through the first Passover, sat with David and the sons of Korah through guilt, mortality, and downcast longing, and followed Jesus from His final public teaching all the way to His arrest and trial. If you've fallen behind, the weekend is your chance to catch up. And if you're on track, take a moment to thank God for the privilege of spending time in His Word this week.

Today Israel is called to remember God's rescue through lasting rituals, the psalmist preaches hope to his own downcast soul, and Jesus openly declares who He is before a hostile council.

Today God institutes the Passover as He rescues Israel from Egypt, David's words of betrayal echo forward into Jesus' own story, and Jesus wrestles in prayer at Gethsemane before His arrest and Peter's denial.

Today the final plagues fall on Egypt in devastating fashion, David remembers being lifted from the pit and recommits himself to God's will, and Jesus shares His last Passover with the disciples before His betrayal.

Today Egypt deals with more plagues, David resolves to watch his tongue while wrestling with how fleeting life is, and Jesus teaches us that however we read the signs of the times, watchfulness and prayer are always the right response.
