About this episode
In the hours leading up to His crucifixion, Jesus endured terrible suffering. He was abandoned by His friends, betrayed by one of His closest associates, falsely accused, and wrongfully convicted. After this, He was stripped, beaten, mocked, nailed to a Roman cross, and left to die. Even after almost 2,000 years, these well-documented historical events are still shocking. But what is perhaps more surprising still is how one first-century witness described the manner in which Jesus faced such horrific circumstances. "For the joy set before Him," the writer of Hebrews said, Jesus "endured the cross, scorning its shame." What joy could come out of the cross? Join us for five-part series exploring Luke 22-23, recounting Jesus' journey to the cross.
