Theme:Wondrous Love--
"The Passion Story of Christ is a love story. It is the story of God sending his one and only son--the Holy Lamb of God--to redeem all of humanity in a sacrificial act of love so that we might be eternally united with the Creator of the universe. It is the story of Jesus who willingly came to give his life for [our} eternal souls."
--Lloyd Larson, Narration to Wondrous Love: Suffering Servant, Crucified Christ, Risen Redeemer
