Meditations on the Life and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ

by Johannes Tauler, Paul A. Böer Sr. (Editor)

In his series of 45 meditations, John Tauler reflects upon the many stages of Jesus' ministry and passion. Tauler begins his mediations with a confession, in which he asks the Lord to open his heart and cleanse him from his unrighteousness so that he might be worthy to praise God's name. Throughout his meditations, Tauler shares the painful, yet redemptive, details of Christ's last days on Earth, from the washing of His disciple's feet to His final words on the cross. Tauler's meditations offer Christians a vivid illustration of Christ's sacrifice for us, encouraging us to draw near to Him. Meditations of the Life and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is an excellent resource for Christians who are striving to emulate the compassionate qualities of Christ--humility, grace, and forgiveness.
