With him lay the expectations of all who had followed him. This wonderful man whom his followers hoped would be the Messiah--the anticipated righteous King sent from God to rule their nation--was brutally seized, tried, tortured and left to die on a cross.

Who will be on the throne of our lives? Who will direct our actions and attitudes? Is it Jesus Christ, who brings truth, hope and freedom? Or is it Mammon, so attractive, so clear, but leading us into paths that tangle, trip and deceive?
