Our Easter Readings are designed to deepen your sense of God’s presence in your life.

For two thousand years the Easter story has shown us Jesus’ great love for all people. Throughout the Lord’s ministry, He emphasized His purpose of bringing all people who are willing to follow Him into heaven with Himself. His boundless, compassionate love is especially clear in the Gospel of John, from which we take our Easter Readings this year.

The Lord said, “I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” (John 12:32) Now that Jesus Christ has risen, we can truly understand His love for humanity, and we can see Him as God, or “Divine love in human form.” (Secrets of Heaven 4735)

We pray that this year’s theme, “The Lord's Love for All People” will give you a clearer sense of the Lord’s presence in your life.

Easter Readings Groups are small spiritual discussion groups, based around the Easter Readings email program.

Come Closer to the Lord.

In the weeks before Easter, we can draw closer to God by discovering a deeper understanding of the Easter story. Jesus said, “I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.” (John 12:32)

Understand His Story.

The Easter story is about how Jesus rose from death, and also about how we can be changed and uplifted to find more peace, happiness, and connection. To get the most out of the readings, you can share them with others in a small group.

Share the Journey.

Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20) Make a closer connection with the Lord by reading His story together and sharing insights with each other.
