The Pain and The Passion of Christ
()
About this ebook
In this book David Odunaiya explores the insights behind the agonizing prayer encounter that Christ had in the Garden of Gethsemane, and how it relates to some of the most profound statements that Jesus made on the cross. This book reveals that it was not fear or cold feet that made Jesus say, "If it be possible let this cup pass over me...", but His love for the Father.

Acknowledgement
At the beginning of the year, I had some books in mind that i was going to write, but this was not one of them. Yet of all of the books i have written till date, this is the one that stands out for me. This book has touched my life, as I hope it will yours.
I would like to acknowledge the Holy Spirit who divinely chose me as His vessel, to share the life trans-forming insights in this book. I cannot thank Him Enough. Every chapter and sub-section was totally by inspiration. There were times when I felt stuck, but He was always there to fill my heart with insights that made me bow at the awesomeness of His presence. I am indebted to you Lord.
I would like to appreciate my loving wife, Titi, for her selfless and sacrificial attitude, which allowed me to spend those hours writing this book with less fuss. Thank you for your support and encouragement.
Working on this book, helped me to appreciate the price that Jesus had to pay for our salvation more than ever before.
Ladi Sanni I would like to thank you, for allowing me to call you at odd times of the day to share my thoughts with you. You have been an immense inspiration to me.
To Precious and Daniel my kids, you are so special to me. Every moment I spend apart from you, fills my heart with thoughts of you, and this inspires me to go on. I want you to remember that, Out of sight is not out of mind
.
I would like to mention a few people who have been an inspiration to me over the years; Bishop David Oyedepo, Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyers, Sis Lara of Beyond the Veil Ministries
- USA, Mona Jean, Pastor Segun Abraham, Pastor Korede Komaiya, Pastor Fola Olaoye of Redeemed Christian Church of God Liverpool and all my facebook friends. I appreciate their counsel and thank them for their support.
Introduction
This book is solely the work of the Holy Spirit. Twenty hours ago, I had no clue that I would ever be writing this book. Today is Easter Sunday, a day that is considered special and holy, to so many Christian denominations across the world, who are remembering and celebrating the Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ
.
From the edge of my bed as I stared at the screen of my laptop, reading the link that was posted on my Facebook of a teaching that I had done almost two years ago, titled, The Pain and the Passion of Christ
. It brought back the memory of some of the insights and revelations that the Holy Spirit had taught me back then.
As I began to meditate on those revelations, I felt a sudden urge begin to mount up from within my spirit, and I knew that God wanted me to write those revelations in a book. It was like an insect being caught in a spider’s web with nowhere to run. I was hooked. I knew exactly what I was going to be doing with the next four days that were left of my Easter Holiday.
The fact that this book is in your hands at this moment of your life, means that God is about to do something new in your life, but before it unfolds; He needs to place His word in your hands, just like the rod that He put in the hand of Moses. It is not by accident that you are about to read this book, it is all within His plan for your life. My prayer is that you will let Him do what He has purposed to do in you before the foundations of the world.
