THE SEVEN LAST WORDS OF CHRIST
30
Mar '20
The seven last words of Christ from the cross are some of the most profound, prophetic, and powerful utterances found in the Holy Writ. These words, or sayings, are packed with meaning transcendent of the time in which they were uttered, and great referential points of hope that inspire us to forge forward today. no wonder the Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 1:12 states that the sufferings of Jesus Christ is something that even angels desire to look into, so how much more those whom He died to save.
It is our desire that every man, woman, boy and girl would “… spend a thoughtful hour each day in contemplation of the life of Christ. We should take it point by point, and let the imagination grasp each scene, especially the closing ones. As we thus dwell upon His great sacrifice for us, our confidence in Him will be more constant, our love will be quickened, and we shall be more deeply imbued with His spirit. If we would be saved at last, we must learn the lesson of penitence and humiliation at the foot of the cross,” The Desire of Ages, pg. 83.
That is the purpose of this online evangelistic movement. It is meant to garner hope from a seemingly sorrowful situation that lent itself to death’s demise and our ascent. It was from the cross that Christ encapsulates the life of one filled, yet emptied himself for you and I. It is this Gospel that will enlighten and fill us with hope for the present and future. Join our host, Pastor Eric J. Bell of the Benton Harbor Highland Ave SDA Church on April 5 -11 nightly at 7:30PM for a deeper look into the life of Christ and individual challenges that will ‘quicken us’ us to be more like Him.
