“Nearly 2,000 years later, the events that took place during Jesus’ last days still reverberate through the ages.... Combining a chronological arrangement of the Gospel accounts with insightful commentary, charts, and maps, this book will help you better understand what actually happened all those years ago - and why it matters today.”
I read this in 2018, and it's STILL a nice tool that walked me through what is popularly called “Holy Week”. This time, I spread out the reading from Ash Wednesday through the day after Easter...kind of a Lenten devotion. One thing that struck me this time around: In the minds of most people, "Holy Week" goes like this: Triumphal entry on Sunday, Eviction of the moneychangers from the temple on Monday, then straight to the Last Supper on Thursday, etc. I rarely think of Tuesday and Wednesday when Jesus spent all day teaching in the temple. How cool would that have been to be in that crowd, hearing Jesus' final teachings before his crucifixion?
First Line: The four Gospels contain eyewitness accounts (and first-hand reports) of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Page 56 / Line 5: And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.
A Good Line from Somewhere in the Middle: In these pages you will read the eyewitness accounts of what the most important person who ever lived said and did during the most important week of his life.
Last Line: Come, Lord Jesus!
