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.
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.
