The Jesus Journey

The Jesus Journey is an interactive art installation depicting Jesus' last days on earth. 


When God created this beautiful world, he thought the very best part was the people. He loved us and made us to be like him. He wanted us to love him and follow his commands. But, he also knew even before he created the first man that some of his beloved people would choose to do wicked things and would need to be rescued. So God made a great rescue plan. He would send his only son, Jesus to earth to die on a cross instead of us. And then, God made his beloved people anyway! Jesus became the final sacrifice for all the sins of all the people of the whole world! Because of this we can be reconciled

to God and live with him in Heaven forever!


You are invited to follow the story of Jesus' last days on earth, and

experience the unfolding of God's great rescue plan.

    Lesson:

    On the night of “The Last Supper”, Jesus gave a new special significance to the Passover meal. He established a new covenant not only with the Israelites, but with all people. This covenant frees us from sin. We are reminded of his sacrifice for us when we eat the bread and drink the juice during this ritual meal as a church.

    Lesson:

    Jesus was no ordinary man. And his death was no ordinary death. The strange and extraordinary things that happened surrounding Jesus’ death not only prove that he is the Son of God but also fulfill the prophecies told thousands of years before Jesus came to earth. All of this shows that sending Jesus to take the punishment for our sins was God’s rescue plan from the very beginning of creation.
