“I thought I knew about the last days of Jesus on earth pretty well. I was wrong!”
I thought I knew about the last days of Jesus on earth pretty well. I was wrong!
So when someone in my church recommended ‘Passion’ by Mike McKinley, I got hold of a copy, but
didn’t expect that I would gain a great deal from it. I was wrong again!
Passion is only about the last 24 hours of Jesus life. It is packed with drama and emotions, yet Jesus
said very little over this time. There are no wasted words or unimportant moments, but it has so
much to say to you and me.
It looks at what we can learn from the cowardice of Peter and Pilate, the bravery of Joseph of
Arithamea. The devotion of the women that stayed with Jesus throughout, and the treachery of
Judas….and much more.
Above all it is so clear that through all this, Jesus has a choice, and it proves so powerfully just how
much God loves us.
We are planning to make it the recommended book for Lent at our church.
