Easter — The Rest of the Story
Jesus’ mission was clearly defined from the foundation of the world. He came into this world as a Babe in a lowly manger, born to die for the sin of mankind — yet His future held hope for the eternal well-being of all who would believe on Him. In Christ’s short physical life on Earth, He would be yielded up as the Lamb of God, His blood the only acceptable sacrifice that could restore man to a relationship with the Father.
Most of us have heard the story — in church, in Sunday School, or from someone sharing his salvation testimony. We know Christ died and then rose again. But what about the days and hours leading up to the time of His crucifixion? It was a real, recorded time in history known as “the Passion” or the Passion of Christ. What happened in those critical moments, and why did it happen?
Nothing that occurred in Jesus’ last days on the earth was insignificant where you and I are concerned. That’s why Rick Renner wrote Easter — The Rest of the Story.
Pre-OrderWhat Is the RIV?
The Renner Interpretive Version of the New Testament is an expanded, interpretive version based on Rick Renner’s exposition of the original language of the New Testament. It’s not a word-for-word translation, but a conceptual interpretation that draws upon concepts in the Greek language in a way that gives readers a broader comprehension of the Scriptures. By extracting imagery presented in the Greek and conveying it to readers using contemporary speech, Rick helps draw lovers of the Word into a deeper study of God’s message to His people for all time.
