Lent devotions that help you reflect on the wonder of Easter.
Journey with Jesus on the road to Jerusalem with these reflections for Lent by Sinclair Ferguson. As you walk through the second half of Luke’s Gospel, you'll meet the people Jesus encountered on the way to the cross—and prepare your heart to appreciate his death and resurrection afresh.
Each day you'll be invited to:
• Read a passage of Luke's Gospel and a short meditation by Sinclair Ferguson
• Reflect on a thought-provoking question
• Respond in prayer and praise as you journal
Pithy yet profound, these devotions will hold up a mirror to your own heart and, more importantly, give you a window into the heart of the Lord Jesus—the one who came to seek and to save the lost at Easter.

I’ve peppered Sinclair with questions over a lunch table. I’ve read his books. I listen to his sermons. All because he is a precious guide to understanding our Savior’s life and work. And that’s the glorious effect of reading this devotional. Read it during Lent. Read it before Lent. Read it after Lent. It doesn’t matter. Just be sure to read it.
So many things clamor for our attention during this season when we really do want to put our focus on Christ. Sinclair Ferguson helps us to turn our gaze toward Jesus day by day so that we can take in the wonder of his grace toward sinners.
These superb reflections on the journey of Jesus to the cross, as recorded by Luke, are the ideal preparation for Easter. Warm, clear and illuminating, they show us ourselves as we see how Jesus dealt with people on the way. But most of all they show us Jesus, the wonder of his love and his call to follow him as his disciples. Read, enjoy and benefit.
My general rule is this; if Ferguson writes it, you should read it!... continue reading
This is a good book to read at lent but can be part of dailey readings throughout the year, it is easy to read and encouraging and stimulating, I would suggest this is used in addition to your daily quiet time readings.
Sinclair Ferguson has provided the church with yet another valuable devotional entitled To Seek and to Save: Daily Reflections on the Road to the Cross.” This excellent book is published by The Good Book Company.
This book is divided into 6 “chapters” or sections: (1) The First Week of Lent; (2) The Second Week of Lent; (3) The Third Week of Lent; (4)The Fourth Week of Lent; (5)The Fifth Week of Lent; (6) Holy Week and Easter Sunday. In this wonderful book, Ferguson walks the reader through the book of Luke, helping us to see the person and work of Christ as revealed in the Gospel of Luke. Each day (or chapter) begins with the day of the week at the top of the page, a title, and a Scripture reference that the reflection is drawn from. The actual text of the Scripture that is referenced is not provided, so the reader will want to have their Bible beside them as they work through this book. Ferguson then provides about 1.5-2 pages of reflection, followed by a “Reflect” section (questions to ask yourself or somebody you are reading it with) and then a “Respond” section that allows the reader to write out any thoughts and/or personal application. Every Sunday, the format is different, as Ferguson provides a poem/hymn but no reflections on Luke.
I will read anything that Sinclair Ferguson writes because of the depths of his wisdom and love for the Lord God. This book, just like all of his others, is such an excellent book for every Christian to read. He writes in a way that makes you love Jesus more and more. His style of writing is very clear and understandable. I think that readers will also enjoy the daily reading format that is offered in this book. I encourage you buy this book in order to set your mind on Christ and all that He has accomplished for you along His road to the cross.
