The Seven Last Words of Christ


The Seven Last Words of Christ


 This is a beautiful reflection... on the last 
7 Statements of Christ... 
His last words... 

"The seven last words spoken by Jesus Christ on the cross are significant statements revealing a healing, human, and divine Savior. This Easter video, written by religious scholar and educator John Hilton III is adapted from his book Considering the Cross: How Calvary Connects Us with Christ. Hilton reveals how these final statements teach us lessons on forgiveness, honor, suffering, agency, comfort, and more. Even during his most agonizing pain, Jesus Christ continued to minister and teach us how we can all be saved with his grace and power."

REF: Script written by John Hilton III adapted from Considering the Cross 
(Deseret Book, 2021)

On the 7 Statements of Christ

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! Behold, thy mother!
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.
