I've enjoyed these daily videos explaining what happened each day leading up to Christ's death and resurrection. The videos were produced in conjunction with the release of Justin Taylor's book, The Final Days of Jesus. The video below is for Thursday. You can find the rest of the videos here.
Save this story for your Good Friday reading: "The most Christological piece of music I have ever heard is Gavin Bryars’s Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet. In 1971, Bryars was working on a film about homeless people and recorded, almost by accident, an old man singing: 'Jesus’s blood never failed me yet, Jesus’s blood never failed me yet, Jesus’s blood never failed me yet. There’s one thing I know for he loves me so.' The song was not used in the movie, but Bryars was haunted by it. One day, as he went out for coffee, he left it playing on loop at his studio. When he returned, he found a group of people gathered around the tape listening in a somber mood, with some of them openly weeping. Bryars never knew the tramp (as he calls him on the liner notes), but he decided to compose an orchestral accompaniment for his simple refrain."
