So what does rock have to do with Jesus Christ?
The name of Jesus Christ always provokes some kind of reaction. Some people revolt in anger at His name while others lose all self-control. Followers of Christ have often used the media of the day to communicate the story of Christ. We want the Passion Rock Opera to do the same thing.

True power...
Because God has moved and changed us in such a powerful way, we think rock music is a perfect way to express how we feel. One of the best rock bands that deals directly with the same issues that we all face is a group called Third Day. They have an unmistakable sound. From the haunting lead vocals of Mac Powell to the tight, modal style, Third Day continues to be a driving force in the world of rock music.

The music of Third Day has always been edgy and full of power. The songs have always been based strongly on the Bible. They make scripture come to life with a gritty, real-life feel. The power of their music comes from the honest portrayal of how their walk with Christ connects with the hard, everyday issues that we all face. The focus of their music always comes back to their faith in Christ and His sacrifice on the cross. Even the name of the band comes from the foundation of their faith - Jesus rose on the third day at the end of the Passion week. Using several songs by Third Day as the basis for the Passion Rock Opera is a perfect fit! Read on to learn more about why we are doing this...
