Description

WHAT

A dramatic Holy Week journey from the Garden of Gethsemane to the foot of the cross. The story focuses on Jesus’ obedience, the disciples’ human weakness, the tension of betrayal and arrest, and the costly love that leads to redemption—without graphic detail.


THEME

Obedience, love, and sacrifice—Jesus willingly gives Himself to save others.

  • Peter

  • John

  • James

  • Judas

  • Narrator
