Jesus spoke seven times from the cross. We’ve heard His word of prayer to God, asking Him to forgive His enemies. Last week, we heard Jesus give an eternal promise to a dying thief on the next cross. This week, Jesus speaks to His mother and to John, both precious to Him.
Solomon finally dealt with the “elephant in the room” of life. It makes no difference what we accomplish or accumulate in life. We all will one day face the inevitable reality of death. This week we look death in the face and find only one hope. His name is Jesus. We will celebrate the Lord's Supper at the close of our worship hours.
