Does Christ's passion have anything to teach us about pacifism? When He was hostilely seized that night, what did Jesus do? Confronted with our global tensions today, what would Jesus do?

The Garden of Hell
In a garden humanity's hope was dashed, and in a garden revived again. What does the garden teach us about His passion? What does it hold for us and call us to?

The Line Mel Gibson Left Out
The movie was bloody. The reality even worse. Why the fixation on blood in both the movie and the Bible?
04/10/2004
Till Death Do Us Part
Physical blood and gore of Christ's passion were the veneer on the face of the greater trauma. The horrendous suffering transcended anything experienced before or after. What was it, and what did it mean?

Hast Thou No Scar?
Parallel to its wondrous gift runs its enormous demands. What does the cross of Christ demand of us?

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
We can participate in the passion. It's both exciting and challenging. Becoming engaged, we discover that the far side of the world is not as far away as it sounds.

The Six Last Words of God
You've heard about the seven last words of Christ. But have you ever heard about the six last words of God? They may be among the most important words you will ever hear. Talk about hope!

As Simple as 1-2-3
A call for a not-so-surprising, but oh so comprehensive, response to the passion of the Christ. But then, wouldn't we expect the message of the cross to be at least as practical as it is theological?
06/12/2004
As Easy as A-B-C
As simple as 1-2-3. As easy as A-B-C. Yes, but also as hard as . . . Unless, that is, the passion of the Christ has indeed worked its miracle in us.
