Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross: A Devotional Bible Study and Meditation on the Passion of Christ for Holy Week Maundy Thursday and Good Friday Services

About this book

Jesus is nearly silent as he hangs on the cross except for a few words. But these 7 Last Words provide a window into his soul a way to understand what is important to this One who is dying on our behalf. 1. "Father forgive them they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34) 2. "This day you will be with me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43) 3. "Woman behold your son." (John 19:26-27) 4. "My God My God why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34) 5. "I thirst." (John 19:28) 6. "It is finished." (John 19:30) 7. "Into your hands I commit my spirit." (Luke 23:46) Seven detailed lessons each with probing discussion questions can be used for personal enrichment as a Lenten study by small groups and classes and for preparation by teachers and preachers.
