The Passion of Jesus Christ

GRACE AND PEACE

FOURTEENTH STATION: JESUS IS LAID IN THE TOMB.

JOHN'S GOSPEL

The Passion of Jesus Christ -- told in the fourteen Stations of the
Cross -- comes alive in _STATIONS OF THE CROSS: THE PASSION OF JESUS
CHRIST THROUGH THE YEARS_, drawing exclusively on the Gospel According
to John. In this Passion story, Jesus fulfills his destiny in triumph.
In John, he does not agonize in Gethsemane, does not need Simon of
Cyrene to carry the cross, does not suffer the taunting on the cross,
does not cry out the first verse of Psalm 22 -- "My God, my God, why
have you forsaken me?" Jesus is in full control of his destiny, as
awful as it is, to die on the Roman cross of torture on Good Friday,

HISTORY OF STATIONS

_STATIONS OF THE CROSS: THE PASSION OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH THE
YEARS_ charts a concise history of the Stations of the Cross, starting
with Emperor Constantine in the fourth century, continuing through
Pope Clement XII setting the Stations at fourteen in 1731, and
concluding with Pope John Paul II, who introduced the fourteen
Bible-based Stations on Good Friday 1991 at the Roman Coliseum.

MEDITATIONS

Chicago seminarian, journalist and mental-health advocate Richard F.
Peterson provides enriching, easy-to-read meditations on each of the
fourteen Stations of the Cross. They are ideal for use during the
Lenten Season or throughout the year to remember Jesus Christ's
sacrifice on the cross, dying for our salvation.

ABOUT US

Author Richard F. Peterson is a seminarian, award-winning newspaper
columnist and mental-health advocate, living a full life with his wife
in suburban Chicago. They have five children, one still at home.
Peterson was a newspaper editor and writer for 30 years before leaving
the field to work with people experiencing homelessness, using his
personal experiences with mental illnesses -- bipolar, depression and
anxiety disorders -- to help others heal.

The call to serve God as an ordained pastor had been present in the
back of his mind for years, but it was not until Peterson began work
with people experiencing homelessness that the call became clear. He
now is a seminarian at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago,
where he loves his studies into the Word and Sacrament. This
devotional e-book, _STATIONS OF THE CROSS: THE PASSION OF JESUS CHRIST
THROUGH THE YEARS_, is the culmination of months of research and
prayer. Peterson hopes this brief devotional helps readers remember
the Passion of our Savior Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to save
each of us.

SAMPLE -- FIFTH STATION: JESUS IS FLOGGED

DEAR JESUS, LORD, EACH BLOW YOU TOOK DURING THE BRUTAL FLOGGING BY
ROMAN SOLDIERS LEFT YOUR BODY COVERED WITH DEEP, BLOODY, PAINFUL
WOUNDS THAT LITERALLY TORE SKIN FROM YOUR BODY. EACH BLOW YOU SUFFERED
WAS FOR THE SAKE OF ALL PEOPLE THROUGHOUT HISTORY. AND WE THANK YOU
FOR ACCEPTING THE TORMENT ON OUR BEHALF, FOR OUR ETERNAL SALVATION.
PILATE SENT YOU TO BE FLOGGED, ASKING THE POLITICIAN'S QUESTION OF
YOU, \"WHAT IS TRUTH?\" NOT THAT HE EXPECTED AN ANSWER. HE SAID HE
FOUND NO CASE AGAINST YOU, BUT WHEN GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN RELEASING
YOU AND THE BANDIT BARABBAS, THE CROWD SHOUTED, \"BARABBAS!\" THE
FLOGGING YOU ENDURED WAS BUT A FORETASTE OF YOUR CRUCIFIXION. THE
SOLDIERS WOVE A WREATH OF THORNS THAT WAS THRUST ON YOUR HEAD AS A
CROWN AND YOU WERE DRAPED IN A ROYAL PURPLE ROBE TO MOCK YOU, \"HAIL,
KING OF THE JEWS!\" AND THEY CONTINUED TO BEAT YOU ABOUT THE HEAD. YOU
DID NOT PROTEST, BUT ACCEPTED PUNISHMENT. WHEN WE ARE MOCKED TODAY FOR
HAVING FAITH IN YOU, OUR REDEEMER, LET US REMEMBER HOW STEADFAST YOU
WERE WHEN YOU WERE ASSAULTED BY THE ROMAN GUARDS. PLEASE, GIVE US THE
STRENGTH TO KEEP OUR FAITH, TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES, TO TURN THE OTHER
CHEEK. IN YOUR NAME, WE PRAY. AMEN.
