Passion Week Video Devotional

March 26, 2026 

Passion Week invites us to walk slowly with Jesus—from the gates of Jerusalem to the silence of the tomb. This page gathers a series of short devotional reflections created to accompany that journey, one day at a time.

A Devotional Journey Through Passion Week

This devotional series is offered as a companion for the days of Passion Week—a way of walking slowly with Jesus through the final movements of his earthly ministry.

Each reflection is brief and rooted in Scripture, designed to be engaged one day at a time. Some may choose to listen daily as the week unfolds. Others may return to these reflections at a different pace, or revisit them in seasons when the story of the cross calls for renewed attention. There is no required order and no expectation to keep up.

These reflections are not meant to explain everything or resolve the weight of the week. They are offered as moments of listening—space to attend to the Gospel story, to prayer, and to the quiet work of remembrance as we move toward the cross and the hope beyond it.

The reflections gathered below are offered as a simple way to enter this week—one day, one moment, one listening at a time.

Day 1:  Jesus Arrives at Bethany

Day 2:  Sabbath - Day of Rest

Day 3:  Triumphant Entry

Day 4:  Clearing of the Temple

Day 5:  Controversy & Parables

Day 6:  Special Day of Rest

Day 7:  Passover Last Supper

Day 8:  Crucifixion, Tomb & Resurrection

These reflections may be engaged in sequence or revisited as needed. There is no right pace—only presence.

____________________

🕯️ Some may find it helpful to approach these reflections with a simple rhythm of prayer and listening.
  • Begin in silence
  • Listen once without taking notes
  • Sit with a word, image, or phrase that lingers
  • Close with prayer or stillness
🙏 May this week open space for honesty, grief, hope, and love—held gently in the presence of Christ.
Rev. Nicholas Sybrowsky

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom & instruction” -Solomon Proverbs 1:7 MSV Many are Called but Few are Chosen.      Have you heard the call to serve God yet?  Some of us don't accept the call to cull our ministry directed from God above in turn discovering that we are chosen. Let us fulfill the call from God!      After operating as an Active Duty Sailor for 20 years, I'm preparing for transition to the civilian sector of employment.  Creating splash pages for my resume has led to sharing some tools that have helped me understand the call of God.      Here I share with you some observations made along the journey of introspective hardship and deliberate exercises to make personal change and growth in the area of personal & professional character development.      Maybe like me you've heard it said, "all are called but few are chosen".  Well in answerin...
