What do you know about the hours before and after Jesus’ death? What do you believe really happened?
This study of the final events of Jesus’ life on earth is an eye-opening, gut-wrenching, heart-breaking, faith-strengthening exercise. You’ll learn from Luke’s carefully researched account that Judas, the traitor, was influenced by Satan. That the disciples abandoned Jesus. That the Jewish religious leaders broke their own laws. That powerful people testified to Jesus’ innocence. That Jesus was crucified and declared dead…
And that He rose from the dead! He appeared in the flesh to many men and women.
Jesus knew that He was the Son of God and knew why He had been sent to earth. He obeyed His Father’s will for Him, laying down His life for the forgiveness of sins. His death, resurrection, and ascension were the actions that provided redemption and regeneration.
Discover all this and more in Luke 22-24. Jesus offered freedom from sin, a relationship with His holy Father, and an eternal life of joy when He said “Believe in Me.”

I appreciate the following endorsement of my study:
Our understanding of the final weeks of Christ’s ministry – His death, resurrection, and ascension – is often hindered by shallow sermons and superficial studies that remain satisfied with the obvious. Which is why the average Christian today knows as much about the easter bunny as they do about the history-hinging, eternity-eclipsing events recorded in Luke 22––24. It’s high time for the depth of Christ’s words, actions, responses, feelings, and faithfulness to be given closer attention.
In this new study covering the final chapters of Gospel by Luke, Elizabeth Ficken invites you to join her on an expedition to go deeper. The spirit of an explorer will be necessary – pick axe included – as you dig into scripture along this adventure.
Careful exposition, word studies, biblical history, culture and the analysis of supplemental texts will increase your understanding of these freighted passages. Of course, the object of this study will not simply be about gathering more information, but following the Lord’s footsteps into greater, more personal transformation.
Elizabeth’s goal as your expedition guide will be life-change – transforming what you understand into something you undertake . . . for the rest of your life. - Stephen Davey, Pastor/Teacher, The Shepherds Church
