| Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. — Luke 23:34  7 Last Sayings of Jesus on the Cross
A Good Friday Reading by FaithGateway, from The Bible Experience
 Throughout this Lenten season, Christians around the world are focusing on the gift of Salvation. Remembering the agony experienced by Jesus in His death on the Cross, crucified by Roman soldiers is so profound, isn't it? In the final hours of His earthly time, as Jesus hung on the Cross, He made seven statements – each teaching us more about Jesus and His character. These are from four Gospel accounts, and are known as Jesus' "seven last sayings."
Let's spend some time today reading (and listening) to these 7 last sayings that Jesus spoke from the Cross.

Your Turn
Good Friday is a day of remembrance and reflection that our flesh can't possibly comprehend. Our holy God hung on a human torture and execution tool. On that day He was still fully God and yet He was also fully human… so His words of forgiveness, promise, protection, provision, agony, human need, completion, and consecration are that much more profound. Which of Jesus' final statements moves you the most? Is it His forgiveness of the repentant criminal? His need? His suffering? Come share with us on our blog, as we reflect on Jesus' final words on the cross. Share this devotion with someone who needs it today.  You've Heard The Bible, But Never Like This.....
