Each Tuesday and Wednesday during Lent, we will share -section by section- the Easter story as recorded in the book of Luke. As you read, we suggest that you follow an abbreviated form of Lectio Divina.
Lectio Divina means “sacred reading” and is an approach to the Scriptures that sets us up to listen for the word of God spoken to us in this present moment. (For a more detailed approach, follow this link.)
As you read, listen for a word or phrase that stands out to you.
Reflect on what God might be saying to you through that word or phrase.
Respond to God. How is my life or my day affected by this word or phrase?
After you have read, rest in God’s presence.
Luke 22.1-6
22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, 2 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people. 3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. 4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. 5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money. 6 He consented and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.
