The passion of Jesus refers to the intense emotional experience of suffering He endured for us. Matthew traces that experience as he recounts the final week of Jesus' earthly life in chapters 21-25 of his gospel. Listen as Dr. John introduces that week to us, for our King, the Kingdom was foremost in His mind.
The Beginning of Jesus' passion: "Passion" is defined as a compelling emotion or feeling. The word fits a wide range of experiences, from our favourite sports team, a hobby, a cause that captures us, and of course, our love. "Passion" applies to Jesus in His suffering and death. In this four week series, Dr. John traces through Matthew the experience of Jesus heading to the cross. Listen for the compelling emotion that led Jesus step by step. It wasn't fear, but love and joy that moved Him.
