Every Easter is an Advent: Reflections on the Seven Signs at Calvary

by Jason Micheli, Barbara Yancy (Editor), Teer Hardy (Illustrator)

We’re all familiar with the Son’s seven last words from the cross— a tree which John in his Gospel tells us is actually his throne. Less familiar to us is how the evangelists also show us the Father, the Living and Loquacious God, speaking on Calvary. The noonday sky puts on mourning clothes as Jesus breathes his last. The velvet rope in the Temple is rent in two. The earth quakes. Like Lazarus, the dead are called out of their tombs. Even the stones cry out. In these seven meditations, Jason Micheli reflects on the signs that occasion the death of Jesus Christ."Jason reminds me of me, only younger, smarter, and better looking." - Rev. Will WillimonSince 2016, the Crackers & Grape Juice team has been bringing you conversations about faith without using stained-glass language.
