The Forgotten Day of Holy Week | Judas, Betrayal & a 500-Year-Old Prophecy | 5-Min Daily Devotional

*The Forgotten Day of Holy Week | Judas, Betrayal & a 500-Year-Old Prophecy | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Wednesday 1 April 2026*Wednesday of Holy Week barely gets a mention - no palms, no supper, no crowds. Just silence. But underneath that silence, something extraordinary is happening.Judas has gone to the chief priests. A deal has been struck. _Thirty pieces of silver._And here's what most people miss: five hundred years before it happened, the prophet Zechariah wrote it down - the exact amount, the potter, the temple. The precision is breathtaking.In this Holy Week devotional we look at the betrayal of Jesus through the lens of Zechariah chapter 11, Psalm 41, and a question that might be the most honest one of the whole week - is there a door you have closed, or a door that was closed on you?_Because no closed door could stop what Jesus had come to do.__Scriptures covered:_- Zechariah 11:12-13- Psalm 41- John 13- Matthew 27_Timestamps_00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:18 - Wednesday of Holy Week00:00:48 - Judas' Betrayal00:01:08 - The Prophecy of Zechariah00:02:24 - The Rejected Shepherd00:02:55 - Psalm 41 and Betrayal00:03:43 - Reflection on Closed Doors00:04:24 - Jesus' Knowledge and Actions00:04:46 - Looking Forward to Maundy ThursdayThis is part of the _Holy Week Doors_ series - a daily devotional walking through the events of Holy Week through the theme of doors.🔔 _Subscribe so you don't miss Maundy Thursday tomorrow_ - when we arrive at one of the most beautiful pictures in all of Scripture: the Last Supper, the Passover, and the door marked with blood._Battle Drill Daily Devotional_ is a short, daily Bible devotional to help you start your day with Scripture and prayer.
