Final Words From The Cross

Plot

Adam Hamilton examines Christ’s dying hours and his final words as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of those who stood near the cross. Moving through each chapter you will begin to understand and respond to Jesus’ final words at the cross while learning about those who were eye witnesses to the crucifixion. In the final chapter, Hamilton moves beyond the cross to Jesus' words to the disciples on the road to Emmaus and to those who were witnesses to the Resurrection.

Each chapter begins with the biblical account followed by a first-person story as might have been told from the viewpoint of one of the characters at the cross. Then the chapter explores the meaning of Jesus’ dying words for our lives today. Following the last statement, a postscript recounts the words Jesus spoke following his resurrection, including what truly were the final words Jesus spoke while walking this earth. Lessons include:

- Father Forgive Them
- Behold Your Son
- My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?
- Today You Will Be with Me in Paradise
- I Thirst
- Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit
- On the Road to Emmaus
