Beyond His Passion: The Whole Story of Jesus Christ's Death and Resurrection

by Jim Gilley, Roy Gilley

Overview

There is much focus today on the agony of Christ's death. The story is not finished. God has left us with four different accounts of Jesus' victory over death. Here are all the words of all the Gospels about the last week of Christ and His resurrection. The orderly and harmonized reports about the passion of Jesus and His rising from the dead make an exciting story. It is completely Scripture with some commentary; but, now all of the accounts have been brought together to give the whole story.

This makes a great gift for someone who is considering the claims of Christ. The gospel is clearly presented where the seeker will know what happened and what is required to become a follower of Jesus. The significance of the events is effectively explained.

Chapter One

The Passion in Prophecy

A READING OF PROPHECY RETOLD AS A HISTORY LESSON

WHO HAS BELIEVED our report? To whom will Jehovah's saving power (arm) be revealed?

For [Jesus] grows up before (Jehovah) like a tender plant, as a root out of dry ground. He has no [special] form to which we should be attracted. Why should we desire Him?

He is despised and abandoned by men. He is a Man of pains, acquainted with grief. We hid our faces from Him. Since He was despised, we did not value Him.

But truly, He carried our griefs and pain. We thought He was plagued, stricken, and afflicted by God, but He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. His whipping was for our peace, and with His wounds we were healed.

We have strayed like sheep, going our own way, away from God. And Jehovah made Him pay for the iniquity of everyone. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, but did not open His mouth. He was led as a lamb to slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, He did not open His mouth. He was captured, restrained and denied justice. And who considered His inheritance? No one! He was cut off from the land of life by the sinfulness of His own people. Yes, the striking went to [Jesus]. His grave was to be with the wicked, but at His death, He was in the grave of a rich man.

Although He had done nothing wrong, Jehovah was pleased to crush Him, to strike Him, and to make His whole being (soul) a guilt offering for mankind. But Jehovah sees from where [Jesus] comes (seed), and that His days are eternal. And the will of Jehovah shall be accomplished in [Jesus'] hand. And [Jesus] will see the labor of His whole being and be satisfied.

"By His knowledge My Righteous Servant shall justify many, for He carried their iniquities. Therefore, I will give Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the plunder with the strong, because He poured out His whole being unto death and was numbered with the transgressors. And He bore the sins of many and made intercessions for the transgressors.'" (Isaiah 53)
