It’s Day #5 of Holy Week, Maundy Thursday or Last Supper Thursday. (I didn’t post yesterday, Wednesday’s tradition, so go here to an old post from years ago for that).

Today’s tradition for a Christ-centered Easter involves contemplation about the scriptures that bring a witness to you of the divinity of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit. This tradition is inspired by the disciples of Christ who walked with Him, in His newly resurrected body, on the way to Emmaus. Even though they saw Jesus right before them with their very eyes, they did not know who He was until they felt the Spirit bear witness, because Jesus quoted scripture to them. So what scriptures bring that witness to you? Does your family know what they are? Take this opportunity to talk about them, write them down, and display so your family knows. Thank you Emily Freeman and David Butler, for this inspired tradition. It’s so simple yet profound!
