As the Gospel of Luke begins, its author declares his intent to compile “an orderly account” of Jesus’ life and ministry so that anyone who reads it “may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.” When we open its pages, this is exactly what we find. Tracing Jesus’ life from His nativity and ministry to His death, resurrection, and ascension, Luke presents us with a portrait of a perfect, divine Savior in whom we can believe fully and securely.
In volume thirteen of this series, Alistair Begg brings us face-to-face with Luke’s account of Jesus’ agony in Gethsemane, arrest, trial, crucifixion, and death. Along the way, we see figures like Herod, the Roman centurion, and Joseph of Arimathea confront an important decision: Will they go on as they always have, or will they be changed by the redemptive work—and promised, triumphant resurrection—of Christ?
