Background: The Fateful Day of Holy Friday
On a hill called Golgotha, the sky darkened, and the earth trembled. It was a day unlike any other-the day of our Lord's crucifixion. The air was thick with sorrow, yet hope lingered. The crowd watched as three crosses stood stark against the horizon, bearing the weight of humanity's sin.
Amidst the agony, Jesus hung there-our Savior, our Redeemer. His body battered, His heart burdened, and His love unwavering. The world held its breath as He uttered His final words, each phrase echoing through eternity.
These seven last words of Jesus are not mere utterances; they are profound revelations of His divinity, His humanity, and His sacrificial love. Let us journey together through these sacred moments.
1. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)
2. "Today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43)
3. "Woman, behold your son... Behold your mother." (John 19:26-27)
4. "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34)
5. "I thirst." (John 19:28)
6. "It is finished." (John 19:30)
7. "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." (Luke 23:46)
