Overview

A sacred cantata for Easter. Includes 15 original musical compositions and narration. As Jesus entered Jerusalem for the last time before his prophesied death, one wonders what thoughts would have been in his mind. The scriptures relate his soul being troubled. Would we have also uttered his words: ""Father, save Me from this hour?"" Would we have understood the sacred emblems He presented at the Last Supper? We wonder how He felt as He ministered to each apostle, illustrating the new commandment to love one another, even knowing that Judas would betray him that very night, and Peter would also deny him three times before the morning sun rose. What must our Savior have thought when He saw his three beloved apostles asleep, three consecutive times, while He suffered in body and spirit the greatest suffering known in earth or in heaven in that sacred garden spot, Gethsemane? On that lonely night, while Jesus was forced to appear before the Sanhedrin, Pontius Pilate, and Herod, would He have been tempted to approach this ordeal calling upon his heavenly powers to overcome every evil? How would He endure the pain and humiliation of a crown of thorns, flogging, mocking, and nails driven into his mortal flesh? We wonder how He could have uttered the redeeming words: ""Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do"" to each soldier or others who screamed for his demise. And in the midst of his own suffering, we may ask ourselves how He could have comforted a thief who hung by his side, and showed deep concern for his mother just before He succumbed to his own death? This entire last week of Jesus' earthly life was an example of his own broken heart as He cried out in perfect faith for God's redemptive power for our benefit, and offering every necessary blessing for our salvation. We can use this pattern as we also seek sanctification only because of Christ's redeeming love through this marvelous, amazing atonement! Throughout the narration and songs in this Cantata, the greatest story of all time illustrates this most beautiful retelling of love between a Father and his Son. As you listen and contemplate your own mortality and eternity, know that this is our testimony and witness that our Savior, Jesus Christ, was born, lived, and died for us. And most importantly, He did the same for you! As this miracle continues, we express the truth of our conviction that after three days in a borrowed tomb, Jesus was also resurrected and still, today, He Lives!
