Commemorate and meditate on Christ’s suffering and death with these books
By : Reformed Free Publishing Association
Christ is and was the king...
…who refused to allow the Jews to crown him king, though he was the King of the Jews.
…who fought alone, without an army.
...who was arrested by his own people, and mocked by the representatives of the Roman Empire, the great earthly kingdom of that day.
…who was crucified because he was King, and remained King when he died.
…who, being risen and ascended, is the King of kings and Lord of lords.

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Read MoreDarkness at Calvary
By : Reformed Free Publishing Association
“Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour” (Matt. 27:45). It was on a Thursday night that the betrayer and his band came to take our Lord.

During the next three hours Calvary echoed with the...

John Calvin explains the truth of Jesus’ suffering in hell and its significance for believers: But, apart from the Creed, we must seek for a surer exposition of Christ's descent to hell: and the word of God furnishes us with one...
