The last moments leading up to Jesus' death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us. The cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn't have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more.

In this Easter season study, Max will help you:

  • Experience Lent as a time not to just give up something, but to prepare to receive good gifts from God.
  • Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life.
  • Receive the grace of Christ's work for us, and cooperate with God's work in us to make us more like him.
  • Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God's presence, no matter what you've done.

    • Sessions include:

  • He Chose to Be One of Us (15:00)
  • He Chose to Forgive Us (16:00)
  • He Chose to Invite Us into His Presence (15:00)
  • He Chose to Love Us Forever (16:00)
  • He Chose to Give Us Victory (18:00)

        Starred review from July 31, 2000
        Lucado's understated homiletical style has propelled sales of more than 15 million books and made him the first author to win three Gold Medallion awards for Christian Book of the Year (Just Like Jesus, 1999; In the Grip of Grace, 1997; and When God Whispers Your Name, 1995). His loyal following will in no way be disappointed with this latest offering, which focuses on the "gifts" of the cross, including the soldiers' spit, the crown of thorns, the nails, the wine-soaked sponge, the burial garments and Pilate's sign identifying Jesus as the King of the Jews. Each of these tragic objects teaches Christians something about the nature of God, says Lucado. The wine-soaked sponge, for example, offered when Jesus spoke of his thirst while dying on the cross, demonstrates how God through Jesus took on the entire human experience, complete with its suffering. "To take on our sins is one thing, but to take on our sunburns, our sore throats? To experience death, yesDbut to put up with life?" God did this so that his followers would fully trust him, Lucado explains, and know that their pain was understood. Lucado uses good humor and everyday situations (such as coping with road rage) to bring his points home. His skill in highlighting even the smallest detail of the crucifixion scene will prove an epiphany for many readers.
