Publisher's summary

The pieces are in place. The curtain rises for the final act. God is about to die.

An unprecedented conspiracy of injustice, cruelty, and religious and political interests sentenced a man guilty of no crimes to the most barbaric method of execution ever devised. The victim was no mere man. Jesus was God in the flesh. The Creator of life died.

How did such a thing come to be? Who were the onlookers, the players, the fakes, frauds, and heroes? What was it like in the Upper Room that night, in the shadows of Gethsemane, or in the Praetorium awaiting Pilate's verdict? What is the meaning of the last words Jesus uttered as he gasped for breath on the cross? What if all the facts you now so well could come alive in your mind and heart as a living story, rather than as a 2,000-year-old ancient account?

By piecing together the narrative from the perspective of the participants, John MacArthur invites you to relive the most awesome injustice in the history of man, the unparalleled triumph of the sovereignty of God, and the passion of Christ.

He died for me.

I have listened to the audible version three times and I find new treasures during each session.

Wonderful!

This book goes into great detail the lives of all the major participants in the life, death and resurrection of Christ. It takes the ancient and makes it very real and relatable by taking you into the text moment by moment.

The power of Jesus’s Blood

I don’t know when this book was written. As much of a scholar that this writer professes to be , maybe a little humility is needed. Since the 1990’s or so it was discovered by Mr Ron Wyatt… an anesthesiologist, a humble man who was just curious and started to read the Bible. Since he was willing, the Lord showed him were the ark of the covenant was. There, Mr Wyatt found the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. He took a sample and took it to a laboratory inI Israel. The Pathologist that were evaluating the blood noted, to their astonishment that the blood only had 24 Chromosomes. How do you explain that!! It also had an X and a Y chromosome but only 24 other. His blood was shed for the remission of our sins. Mr. You need to be careful what you say about other authors!! Remember Mathew chapter 7.
