The Day That Changed Forever: Twenty-One Life Changing Experiences at the Cross

Find Fresh Insights in Familiar Stories

There are stories we think we know so well that we feel we’ve got nothing more to learn from them. Familiarity can breed apathy. Yet when we look past the familiar by seeing through the eyes of those who were actually there, we find amazing discoveries that can change our entire perspective and fuel fresh passion. “I didn’t know that before…” “I would have felt the same way…” “Now I understand…” “This is far worse than I could have ever imagined…” “That’s the Jesus I want to know!”

What we know as “Christ’s Passion” unfolded in real time in real places with real people. The culmination of those events all brings us to the Cross of Jesus. What happened that day on the Cross changed everything for everyone forever. The people we meet on the way to the Cross, who stood watching at the Cross and heard the words Jesus spoke from the Cross were people just like you and me. Tim Roehl brings their stories to life—their hopes and fears, perspectives and preconceptions, the sights and sounds in the seen and unseen realms. Consider what Barabbas was thinking when an innocent man would die in his place? What was Jesus’ mother Mary feeling as she saw her Son dying before her eyes? Why did Annas, a leader with great religious and political power, use his influence to make sure Jesus was condemned to die? Let the unique viewpoints of those who were actually there at the Cross give you fresh insights in familiar stories that fuel newfound awe, reverence and passion. Let an old, old story become new again!
