Passion Week

Chapter 9—Thursday (13 illustrations)

Thursday of Passion Week was the most sacred and consequential evening of the Savior's mortal ministry. Beginning with the Last Supper and concluding with His arrest and Jewish hearing, the events of this night reveal Christ’s perfect love, willing obedience, and complete submission to the Father’s will as He prepared to offer Himself for the redemption of the world.
