Seven Words On The Cross

 There they crucified him, and with him two others - one on each side and Jesus in the middle - John 19:18.

1. Forgiveness

Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” - Luke 23:34.

2. Assurance

And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise” - Luke 23:43.

3. Compassion

When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” - John 19:26.

4. Loneliness

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” - Matthew 27:46.

5. Obedience

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” - John 19:28.

6. Victory

So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit - John 19:30.

7. Submission

And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’” Having said this, He breathed His last - Luke 23:46.
