Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Day of the Cross: A Course of Sermons on the Men and Women and Some of the Notable Things of the Day of the Crucifixion of Jesus "And they that had laid hold on Jesus, led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest." - Matthew xxvi. 57. The tragedy of the Cross-is an event of a certain suddenness in the life of Jesus. The reader of the gospels has little forewarning of it. There a few clear and arresting prophecies of it from the lips of Christ, but the events of the history do not seem to be marching toward such a consummation. Christ´s popularity has laid hold on the whole land, has made Jerusalem expectant, and has raised ambitious dreams in the hearts of His disciples. It is not until He enters Jerusalem that the storm bursts almost out of a clear sky. In ten days all is over - the Son of God is crucified! The reason of this suddenness is that Christ was crucified by the Sadducees. His great opponents throughout His ministry had been the Pharisees. They met Him at every turn, and strove to refute Him. But many of them were well affected to Him. One of them became a disciple; another laid His crucified body in his own tomb. Some of them may have thought it possible to win the brilliant young Rabbi of Nazareth to their ranks. The Pharisees alone would not have put Jesus to death. But the Sadducees, except in one instance, did not controvert with Jesus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
