The Cross of Christ was a rescue operation hatched from eternity past to save mankind from the tyranny of sin and Satan. Angels watched in somber silence and abject horror, as their beloved Creator and Commander-in-Chief was pummeled and thrashed from Pilate’s court all the way to Calvary, by the very creatures He designed, created, and came to redeem. His well-chosen words while in the throes of death by crucifixion give us an insight into his state of mind. “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” But did God really forsake the one He twice affirmed, saying: “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased”? Every word Jesus uttered from the cross was salvific, pregnant with meaning, filled with promise, and brimming with symbolism. Join me as we explore, analyze, dissect, and scrutinize the seven last words of the dying Messiah.
