Passion Easter

Unseen Warfare is one of the most enduring works of Orthodox Christian spirituality, a manual of inner struggle that has guided generations of believers toward spiritual sobriety and union with God. Originally written in the late sixteenth century by the Italian priest Lorenzo Scupoli, the book was later translated into Greek and adapted for Orthodox readers by Saint Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain, who shaped it according to the teachings of the Philokalia. In the nineteenth century, Saint Theophan the Recluse translated and revised Saint Nicodemus’s version into Russian, bringing its ...

All events in history prior to it led to that point and all events since then have led from that point. 24 – Jesus’ Final Hours is Part 2 of ‘The Chronology of Jesus’ Life’ series. It will change the way people see his death and the way they see the God who became man. The revelation of what he ...

Jesus' final days were full of risk. Every move he made was filled with anticipation, danger, and the potential for great loss or great reward. Jesus risked his reputation when he entered Jerusalem in a victory parade. He risked his life when he dared to teach in the Temple. His followers risked everything when they left behind their homes or anointed him with costly perfume. We take risks as we read and reread these stories, finding new meanings and new challenges.

Each of the four Gospels tells only part of the story of Jesus...and all of them leave out background facts that are essential to understanding events surrounding Jesus' arrest, trial, and crucifixion.

Ralph Gorman has here crafted a single, unforgettable, detailed account that combines material from all four Gospels with critically important Old Testament passages, plus relevant facts from Jewish and Roman history, laws, traditions, and practices.

This work is a paraphrase of selected passages from the four Gospels of Jesus Christ. The passages record the events of the last week of the ministry of Jesus on earth. The passages are from the King James Version. The language was updated, and the events were placed in what I believe to be the chronological order. I do not say this is the exact order in which the events occurred, but only the order suggested to me by my studying of the text. The last week of Jesus’ ministry on earth is known as Passion week. The events of this week are called the Passion of Christ. He had two passions, ...

The world has never forgotten what the cross did to His body. This is the story of what no eye could see. At nine o'clock on a Friday morning, Rome crucified Jesus of Nazareth. Films and books have shown the scourging, the thorns, the nails — the suffering men could watch. But Scripture insists the visible agony was only the threshold. Isaiah said He would bear our griefs and carry our sorrows. Paul said He was made sin. Hebrews says He tasted death for every man. What did that actually look like — behind the veil? He Tasted Death is a novel of the six hours of the crucifixion as ...
