The Christ in the Smokies Museum & Gardens is a quiet place for meditation and reflection. It is a retreat, a place that depicts the life of Jesus Christ. Jesus was raised in the small rural town of Nazareth. His adoptive father, Joseph, taught him to use the tools of a carpenter. At the age of 30 Jesus sought out John the Baptist. John refused to baptize Jesus. Jesus went into the wilderness, to allow Satan to tempt Him just as Satan tempts us today. For forty days Jesus fasted and then beat down the foe, Satan. As He came down from the hills, He was filled with the Holy Spirit.

On a Thursday night, Jesus met with his apostles, in the city of Jerusalem. He was there to take the Passover meal with them. It was here on a solemn occasion, that Jesus told them He must soon die. That it was God's will that He give His life for His friends. He drank wine and broke bread with them. He told them to remember Him. Later that night He spent time in the garden of Gethsemane to pray. But He was arrested by a mob of angry men. Around midnight Jesus sent to trial. On tramped up charges, the Jewish authorities tried the Lord in an illegal, night-time trial.

That was not enough, they wanted Him to die. In the early morning they carried Jesus to the Governor of Judea, Pontus Pilate. Pilate had Him scourged, stripped, mocked, hoping that would appease the crowd. Finally He was beaten, shamed and then crucified. At last He began to ascend into Heaven. As He rose, He told his apostles, "Go everywhere and tell the good news." Jesus can be your Saviour.
