This Swap series will help us dig a little deeper into some of the elements of the Easter story. Read the recommended Bible passages and send your partner a letter or notecard answering the prompts at the end of this post. There is a little creative writing involved with this series. Get creative and really try to imagine yourself in the passage for this week! If you get stumped, ask the Lord for His inspiration.

Pick one of these Bible passages to read and reflect on this week:

--Matthew 27:32-66

--Mark 15:21-41

--Luke 23:26-56

--John 19:16-37

We honor Good Friday as the day Jesus died as a sacrificial lamb for our sins. People who are not familiar with the historical accounts may ask, “But what’s so good about it? Why do you call it ‘good’ if your God died that day?” To them, it would seem like a bad day, not a good one.

What is your explanation for why we call it "Good Friday"? What would you tell someone who is not familiar with the Easter Story?
