The Final Hours of the Life of the Lord Jesus Christ

In this deeply moving six-part series from 2000, Brother Harry Tennant leads listeners through the final hours of the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. With reverence and insight, he brings to life the events of the upper room, Gethsemane, Calvary, and the glorious morning of resurrection. Each class reveals not only the suffering and love of Jesus, but also the unwavering purpose that carried him through to the end. Listeners are invited to enter the narrative afresh, to feel its weight and hope, and to let it shape their own discipleship.

Supper Being Ended

The series opens with Jesus in the upper room, where he washes his disciples’ feet and reveals the spirit of humble service that would mark the path to the cross. Brother Tennant shows how Jesus, knowing that all things were given into his hands, laid aside his garments to serve—an enacted parable of the life he was about to lay down.

Now Is My Soul Troubled

This lecture reflects on the supper at Bethany, the anointing of Jesus, and the procession into Jerusalem. Brother Tennant highlights both the fragrance of devotion and the darkness of betrayal, reminding us that even as Jesus faced opposition, he fixed his eyes on the joy set before him, enduring the cross for the sake of God’s plan.

Gethsemane

In the garden, Jesus enters into his deepest agony. Brother Tennant carefully unfolds the scene of prayer, weariness, and surrender, showing how Jesus became “exceeding sorrowful unto death” yet yielded fully to his Father’s will. This lecture captures the solemn truth that salvation was secured in Gethsemane before it was completed on Golgotha.

Companions at the Cross

Here the focus turns to the lonely suffering of Jesus as his disciples flee and he is left without human support. Brother Tennant reminds us, however, that he was never truly alone, for the Father was with him and the scriptures bore witness. Even in rejection, humiliation, and mockery, Jesus showed perfect trust and obedience.

It Is Finished

At Calvary, Jesus speaks the words that mark the turning point of history: “It is finished.” Brother Tennant traces the trials, the scorn, and the crucifixion, but above all, he emphasizes the victory of the cross. This is not defeat, but the moment when sin and death are broken, and the way of salvation is secured for all who believe.

The Morning Without Clouds

The series concludes with the dawn of resurrection. Brother Tennant explores how the empty tomb and the risen Christ bring reconciliation, peace, and hope. He shows that the morning without clouds points forward to the eternal day when God will be all in all, and invites listeners to live now in the light of that coming glory.
