JOHN 14:6
THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE
Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.JOHN 3:16
THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son innto the to condemn the world, but the world through Him might be saved.
What Did Jesus Say
His Seven Last Words on the Cross
1. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. Luke 23:34
Forgiveness – Jesus forgives the Roman soldiers who crucified him and those involved in his death.
Jesus Christ / Founder of the Church
2. Today, you will be with me in paradise. Luke 23:43
Salvation – Jesus was crucified between two thieves, traditionally named as Dismas and Gestas, one supports Jesus’ innocence and asks him to remember him when he comes into his kingdom.
Jesus Christ / Founder of the Church
3. Behold your son: behold your mother. John 19: 26-27
Relationship – Jesus entrusts Mary, his mother, into the care of “the disciple whom he loved.”
Jesus Christ / Founder of the Church
4. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34; Psalm 22
Abandonment – As death approaches Jesus experiences utter dereliction from God and his closest disciples.
Jesus Christ / Founder of the Church
5. I thirst. John 19: 28 (cf. John 4: 4-26); Psalm 22:15; Psalm 69:21
Distress – Jesus is given a drink of sour wine symbolising the need for the Scriptures to be fulfilled. John sees Jesus, the anointed Messiah, as perfecting the example of the first anointed King, David, who was also persecuted by his enemies for his service to God
Jesus Christ / The Head of the Church
6. It is finished. John 19: 30
Triumph – Jesus’ earthly life is over, and his death opens even the darkest of places to the reconciling love of God.
Jesus Christ / Perfecter Of Our Faith
7. Father, into your hands I commend my spirit. Luke 23: 46; Psalm 31:5
Reunion – Jesus begins to join his Father in heaven as he journeys from death to resurrection. In the Bible, seven is the number of perfection, and the seven last words can be seen as the completion of the seven days of the circle of Creation.
