 "JESUS" is a remarkable film, full of drama. The attention to biblical accuracy catapults you
back into the life and
time of Jesus Christ. You walk the same historical streets, you
experience the same wonderful miracles, and you are touched by the
power of God as you relive the most important events in the history of
mankind. 
Why Did Christ Have To Die?
Couldn't He have accomplished more by living a full and happy life?
Think
of the people He could have healed, the teaching He could have done,
the problems He could have solved. Why was He obsessed with dying? Why
didn't He defend Himself in court for the sake of His family, His
disciples, and all who admired Him? This booklet, compiled by our staff
of writers, takes a look at the reasons given in the Bible why Christ
planned and allowed His own death.

Discover Jesus For Yourself
The New Testament is made up of several short books and letters.
Our English Bibles are translations of what the early Christians
actually wrote. The experts tell us that we can be sure that the text
on which these translations are based is exceptionally accurate.
The eminence of Jesus as a historical figure
and the suffering and controversy associated with his death have
stimulated us to investigate, in an interdisciplinary manner, the
circumstances surrounding his crucifixion. Accordingly, it is our
intent to present not a theological treatise but rather a medically and
historically accurate account of the physical death of the one called
Jesus Christ.

You're not alone if you find yourself honestly unconvinced about whether Christ rose from the dead.
If you do see the reasonableness of the resurrection, keep in mind that
the Bible says Christ died to pay the price for our sins, and those who
believe in their heart that God has raised Him from the dead will be
saved (Romans 10:9-10). The salvation Christ offers is not a reward for
effort, but a gift to all who in light of the evidence put their trust
in Him.
If we had the compassion of Jesus, it would change our families, churches,
and neighborhoods for the better. It would allow us to give to others what all of us want for ourselves. It would enable us to fulfill the purpose for which we leave our footprints and fingerprints on this planet. This life-changing grace is the passion of the author's life. Vernon Grounds is one of the present directors of RBC Ministries, a past president and current chancellor of Denver Seminary, and an ongoing mentor to the men and women whose lives he continues to influence. Dr. Grounds, who is in his ninth decade, models better than anyone else I have ever known the compassion he writes about in the following pages.
