===Events leading up to Jesus' death===
An extract from [[Bruce Barton|Bruce Barton's]] book [[The Man Nobody Knows]]
: On a barren hill beyond the city walls they nailed His body to the cross. Two robbers were crucified with Him. It was over. The rabble sickened quickly of its revenge and scattered; His friends were hiding; the soldiers were busy casting lots for His garments. There was nothing left of those external influences which fire men's imaginations. Surely the victory of His enemies was complete. And yet - the lasting victory was His. "The man who loses his life," Jesus said, "shall find it."
An extract from [[I will love you for the cross]] by [[Matt Redman]]
: Jesus Christ the sinner's friend.
: Does this kindness know no bounds?
: You were punished, you were crushed
: But that punishment has become my peace
: Yes that punishment has become my peace
: And I love you for the cross
: I'm overwhelmed by the mystery
