Sunset on the Disciples

Today’s Reflection

[Judas] represents the intersection of many contrasts: day and night, obedience and betrayal, and, ultimately, life and death. . . . He is invited into obedience and the life found in Jesus. But heartbreakingly, Judas chooses to walk away and into the night.

—Stephanie B. Dunn, Draw Close: A Creative Companion for Lent (Upper Room Books, 2025)

Today’s Question

Where do you see yourself in the story? How do you experience the contrast between day and night?

Today’s Scripture

So, after receiving the piece of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.—John 13:30 (NRSVUE)

Prayer for the Week

God, as I walk the road of suffering, death, and resurrection with you again this year, allow me to see it in a new light. Amen.
