Looking back through time, there is one week, seven days, upon which the course of human
history turns.
It occurred in a small country east of the Mediterranean.
The key players were relatively few.
What would it have felt like to have been there, to have seen these events unfold?
It is now Friday morning in the city of Jerusalem, in the early spring of 33 AD.
In a few days, the world and mankind's relationship to God will be changed forever.
Close the doors.
Are you the king of the Jews?
Do you say this yourself?
Or did others tell you?
Am I a Jew?
My own nation and its chief priests delivered thee unto me.
What hast thou done?
My kingdom is not of this world.
Thou a king then?
To this end was I born.
For this cause came I into the world.
My kingdom is not of this world.
Take, eat.
This do in remembrance of me.
Drink.
This is in remembrance of my blood, which is shed for as many as shall believe on my
name.
Mother, the hour is come.
Here's the man. Watch for the sign.
Master.
No!
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
Whom shall I release unto you? Jesus or Bar-Abbas?
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
I find no fault in this man. Crucify him. Crucify him. Crucify him!
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
Crucify him!
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
The hour is come.
People! Your king!
Shall I crucify your king?
Slap!
At our kingdom.
To this end was I born.
For this cause came I into the world.
To this end was I born.
To this end was I born.
To this end was I born.
To this end was I born.
To this end was I born.
Father, into thy hands I command my spirit.
It is finished.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
And in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
O come, O come, O come.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Alleluia.
Amen.
