Overview
Calvary. The word is found only once in Scripture. Most of ushave never toured the actual site and since there is debate about thesite's location, those who think they have visited Calvary may neverhave been there at all. But for all those who have trusted Christ asSaviour, we have indeed been to Calvary. In our meditations, Calvaryis undoubtedly the most frequented place on earth. Hardly a daypasses without thinking about our Lord and the steps that took Himthere. It was the greatest journey ever traversed, unrivalled in distance,personal suffering, and eternal significance. Indeed, our lives willnever be the same because of the Man who left His throne in Heavenfor a cross on earth.This book traces the Saviour's pathway, from the predictions He madeof His passion to the yielding up of His life while hanging on the tree.Attention is focused on our Lord's final hours and final words, withan attempt made to harmonise as much material from the Gospels aspossible, setting events in chronological fashion.Any book written about Christ's cross will have its limitations, andthis brief work is certainly no exception. But it is the author's prayerthat these twenty short chapters will prompt us to deeper worship andgreater devotion to the One who went all the way to Calvary for us.
