Each chapter in this collection of twenty meditations pinpoints 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' silent prayer for his disciples, Pilate's wife's dream, or the astounding news of the resurrection which seemed like an 'idle tale.' Other messages address objects that could have been seen and touched: the torn curtain in the Temple, robes, 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 today's Christian living. A companion book of children's sermons based on the same texts is also available.
