Reading along with us in our Lenten readings from “The Life of Jesus”? Here’s today’s reading:
Lent 2025 – Day 26 in the Book: “The Life of Jesus“
The Week Jesus Dies
Read Sections 5.55 through 5.57 (pages 181-183)
This book is an account of Jesus’ life and teachings told in chronological order from the four Gospels to create one continuous story.

I can only imagine the fear that struck the hearts of the people that witnessed the darkness, the earthquake, and the veil torn. To know and have the earth itself is recognizing what just happened! To have to acknowledge that it was no ordinary man you just had a hand in killing! No wonder the priests wanted that tomb sealed and guards posted (still trying to convince themselves men may have a part in his ressurection) knowing full well that everything Jesus had been saying had come to pass and trying not to accept that it was most likely going to continue. They would have to see first hand Jesus show that death could not hold Him and the grave could not keep Him and that He would indeed rise and save His people!
