Easter Bible Reading Plan FREE Printable

Easter is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s the heart of everything we believe. But in the busyness of Holy Week, it’s easy to move quickly from Good Friday to Sunday morning without really pausing to sit with the wonder of what Jesus has done for us.

That’s why we created this Easter Bible Reading Plan—a gentle, intentional guide designed to help you slow down, reflect deeply on Scripture, and prepare your heart for the joy of the resurrection.

Whether you’re spending Easter week alone, with your family, or alongside a small group, this plan invites you to kneel in humility, read God’s Word prayerfully, and fix your eyes on Christ.

What This Easter Bible Reading Plan Looks Like

This plan walks you through Thursday through Sunday of Holy Week, focusing on both morning and evening devotional time. Each day includes Scripture reading, guided prayer, and moments of worship to help you engage not just your mind—but your heart.

The basics of the guide:

• Covers Thursday–Sunday (Holy Week)
• Includes morning and night devotional sessions
• Combines Bible reading, kneeling prayer, worship, and meditation
• Includes optional extra readings and worship songs
• Simple, doable, and deeply meaningful

You won’t need to overthink or overprepare—just bring your Bible, a quiet space, and a willing heart.

Daily Breakdown of the Easter Reading Plan

Thursday: The Last Supper & Surrender

• Read Matthew 26
• Reflect on the meaning of the Lord’s Supper
• Kneeling prayer focused on remembrance, humility, and gratitude

This day invites you to sit at the table with Jesus and reflect on His willing sacrifice.

Friday: The Cross & the Cost of Sin

• Read Matthew 27
• Kneeling prayer centered on confession, repentance, and thanksgiving
• Meditate on the mockery, suffering, and crucifixion Jesus endured for us

Good Friday draws us into the heaviness of the cross—reminding us that our salvation was not cheap, but costly and personal.

Saturday: Waiting, Freedom, and Hope

• Worship through music and Scripture
• Pray over John 8:31–36, asking God to help you abide in His truth
• Evening prayer focused on anticipation of the resurrection

Saturday is a quiet day—a space to wait, to reflect, and to remember that God is always at work, even when heaven feels silent.

Sunday: Resurrection & Mission

• Read Matthew 28
• Praise God for the victory of Jesus
• Kneeling prayer over the Great Commission
• Meditate on Romans 10:9, responding in spoken prayer

Resurrection Sunday is a celebration—but also a calling. Because Jesus lives, everything changes.
