Experiencing the Passion of Christ

Conspiracy. Betrayal. Mockery. Injustice. Agony. Death.  
  
EXPERIENCING THE PASSION OF CHRIST takes you through the hours leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, giving you a front row seat as the drama unfolds. His last meal with the disciples; His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane; Judas betrayal; Peter's denial; the trials before the Sanhedrin, Pilate, and Herod; the Roman scouring and execution; His last words; and his rising from the dead.  
  
In this book, John MacArthur unfolds the rich redemptive significance of our Lord's work on the cross. You are placed on the scene, confronted with the dreadful horror of the crucifixion and made aware of its ultimate purpose - the empty tomb.  
  
Understanding God's great plan changes our perspective on the Passion. Disturbing, but inspiring. Shocking, yet comforting. Awful, yet magnificent.  
  
Includes ten lessons that reveal God's purpose behind Jesus' death.  
  
'Did you know?' sections throughout the workbook give you historical insights.  
  
Corner verses on every page point you to God's sovereign plan behind Christ's passion.  
  
Summary statements at the end of each lesson keep you focused on the main points.  
  
Scripture memory verses for each week allow you to internalise the truth of God's Word.

With the flood of questions and deep introspection that Mel Gibson's blockbuster movie, The Passion of the Christ, is creating, John MacArthur responds with a workbook that answers those deep, personal, and sincere questions. So many people know about Jesus, but they don't really understand why Jesus had to suffer and die. Experiencing the Passion of Christ will give you a front-row seat as Christ's life unfolds. You will be placed on the scene, confronted up close with the painful events of the cross, but you will also see the majestic glory found in "the rest of the story."Read less
