The reading source for this year is the New Testament. The reading assignment for the week of April 3–9th is Easter. One way to focus on the blessings of the savior’s atonement this week is to spend time each day reading about the last week of Jesus’s life. That reading would start Sunday, April 2, with Matthew 21:6-11 (the entry into Jerusalem). Matthew 21: 12-16 (Cleansing of the Temple) on Monday April, 3. Matthew 21-23 (Teaching in Jerusalem) on Tuesday, April 4 and Wednesday, April 5. Matthew 26 (The Passover) on Thursday, April 6. Matthew 27: 1-61 (The Trial, Crucifixion) on April 7. Matthew 27: 62-66 (Christ body lies in the tomb) on March 8, and Matthew 28:1-10 (the Resurrection) on April 9.
