What REALLY Happened During Jesus' Last Hours Before the Cross?

Many have heard the story before - that Christ died, was buried, and rose again - but what about the days and hours leading up to His crucifixion? What happened in those critical moments, and why did it happen?

Presenting Scripture as well as the writings of Early Church fathers, Rick documents the journey of Christ from the Garden to the Cross and beyond, revealing:

• Why hundreds of soldiers - not just a few - met Jesus to arrest Him.

• The identity of the naked boy in the Garden of Gethsemane.
• The physical and mental abuse Jesus endured before the Crucifixion.
• Who Pontius Pilate was and why he tried to save Jesus.
• What Jesus meant when He said, “It is finished.”
