Description

In his final days on Earth, Jesus was fully aware that the end was near. He understood the sorrow of Friday, but did he also foresee the triumph of Sunday? Bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado invites you to journey alongside Jesus during the week leading up to the crucifixion—experiencing his passion, recognizing his authority, and embracing his promise that death is not the end.

*On Calvary’s Hill* offers a powerful depiction of Jesus in his last days. Dressed like an ordinary man but driven by an extraordinary purpose, he moves with unwavering determination. As he leaves Jericho and heads toward Jerusalem, he does not hesitate or converse idly. This is his final journey. Even the angels watch in silence, fully aware that this is no ordinary week—eternity itself is at stake.

Drawing from excerpts of Max Lucado’s beloved books, including *3:16*, *He Chose the Nails*, and *Just Like Jesus*, this devotional leads readers through Jesus’ final days, from the road to the cross to the glory of the resurrection. Each entry includes a meaningful Scripture passage, a reflective reading, and a heartfelt prayer, designed to draw you closer to Christ and prepare you to celebrate the miracle of Easter.

As we walk through Jesus’ final week, Max Lucado encourages us to reflect on challenging questions:

When we are betrayed, how should we respond?
What makes the cross the ultimate symbol of Christianity?
What would it be like to witness these events firsthand?

Let’s follow Jesus on his last journey. By understanding how he walked his path, we may learn how to walk our own.
