Each chapter in this collection of twenty meditations considers a specific phrase or object related to Jesus ministry in his final days or in his resurrection appearances. In several cases, this is something intangible yet very distinct, such as Jesus prayer for his disciples, Pilates wifes dream, or the astounding news of the resurrection that seemed like an idle tale. Other messages address objects that could have been seen and touched: the torn curtain in the temple, ropes, scars, or the burial spices the women brought to the empty tomb. But whether tangible or intangible, each symbol reflects a significant event in the biblical narrative, which Sheets explores to see what lessons can be drawn for todays Christian living. This volume is excellent for adult Sunday school classes or other study groups, devotional reading during Lent and Easter, and as background for sermon preparation. A companion book of childrens sermons based on the same texts (Alleluia! by Elaine M. Ward) is also available from CSS Publishing Company.Herchel Sheets is a proven quantity. Here he focuses fifty years of disciplined biblical and theological study in a series of skillfully crafted seminal sermons on the passion and resurrection of Christ. His hermeneutic hinges on themes that are definite and precise, such as a jar of ointment, a drug refused. In every instance, he ties the truth to the contemporary with illustrations from literature and life that constitute a cornucopia for teachers and preachers. This volume is a keeper!L. Bevel Jones III, Bishop in ResidenceCandler School of Theology, Emory UniversityIn this volume, Herchel Sheets takes us on a journey as Jesus makes his way to Jerusalem -- from Lent to Resurrection and Eastertide. With his great biblical understanding, fine theological mind, and broad literary knowledge, he brings us rich vignettes of the life and ministry of Jesus. A splendid preacher, teacher, and writer has produced a homiletical gem!James Lloy
