The Last Seven Sayings of Jesus From the Cross

April 13, 2022 • Dr. Kevin A. Norvell, Sr., Rev. Lovell Fleming, Etc.

1. Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. 2. To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. ... 3. Woman, behold, thy son! ... 4. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ... 5. I thirst. ... 6. It is finished. ... 7. Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.

Father Forgive Them

April 13, 2022 • Pastor K. Wolverton • Luke 23:34

Man had done his worst. The One by whom the world was made had come into it, but the world knew him not. The Lord of glory tabernacle among men, but he was not wanted. The eyes they had been blinded saw in Him no beauty that He should be desired. Add his birth there was no room in the inn, which foreshadow the treatment He was to receive at the end of His earthly ministry.

Remember Me

April 13, 2022 • Pastor M. Mitchell • Luke 23:39–43

The second of Christ's cross utterances was spoken in response to the request of a dying thief. Ere considering the words of the Savior, we shall first ponder what occasioned them. It was no accident that the Lord of glory was crucified between two thieves. There are no accidents in a world that is governed by God.

Woman Behold Thou Son

April 13, 2022 • Pastor M. Martin • John 9:25–27

What sorrow it must have caused Mary to see her child being crucified. Who can measure those hours of suffering and sorrow as the sword it was slowly drawn through Mary's soul. Hers was no hysterical or demonstrated sorrow. There was no show of feminine weakness, no while outcry of uncontrollable anguish, no fainting. Mary stood at the cross.

Eli Eli, My God My God

April 13, 2022 • Rev. W. Dykes • Matthew 27:45–46

The crucifixion of the Lord of glory was the most extraordinary event that has ever happened on earth, and this cry of the suffering One was the most startling utterance ones about appalling scene. That innocence should be condemned, that the guiltless should be persecuted, that a benefactor should be cruelly put to death, was no new event in history. But he who hung on this central cross was no ordinary man, He was the Son of Man, the One in whom all excellence met - the Perfect One.

I Thirst

April 13, 2022 • John 19:28

"I Thirst." These words were spoken by the suffering Savior a little before He bowed the head and gave up the spirit. They are recorded only by the evangelist John, and as we shall see, it is fitting they should have a place in his Gospel for they not only evidence Christ humanity but bring out his divine glory too.

It Is Finish

April 13, 2022 • Rev. Lovell Fleming • John 19:30

"It is finish." The ancient Greeks boasted of being able to say much in little. This was not the despairing cry of a helpless martyr; it was not an expression of satisfaction that the termination of His sufferings was not reached; it was not the last gasp of worn-out life. It was the declaration of the Redeemer that all that He came to do was done.

Into Thou Hands

April 13, 2022 • Dr. Kevin A. Norvell, Sr. • Luke 23:45–46

This was the last utterance of the Savior from the cross before His death. While He hung upon the cross, seven times His lips parted with words that pierce our soul to the core. Three of His utterances concerned men, three of His utterance concerned the Father and in the hearing of the Father, men, angels and the devil the Savior cried, "It is finish."
