2013 Reading Through Last 6 days of Christ's Ministry as Immanuel, to the Cross, to the Tomb, to Resurrection, to Commissions



“Six days before the Passover” (Jn. 12 : 1)


For those that may be interested, I try to prepare this day by day walk through the last recorded 6 days of Christ’s ministry on earth, as well as an account of time leading up to the resurrection. There were some very important jewels given to us in The Word during this time. 

We hope you would print this out and walk through the day by day account with Jesus and His teachings during those final hours with us as Immanuel. May we recommend you make this a family daily reading adventure? The days have been converted in to 2013 dates to correspond the exact time of Hebrew calendar dates.
