Hamilton, Adam, 1964-

Final words from the cross / Adam Hamilton. - Nashville : Abingdon Press, c2011. - 136 p. ; 19 cm.

"Father, forgive them" -- "Today you will be with me in paradise" -- "Behold your Son" -- "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" -- "I thirst" -- "It is finished -- into your hands I commend my spirit" -- On the road to Emmaus.

In life and in death, Jesus? words were powerful and meaningful. Despite the serious effort and increased pain required for Jesus to speak as he hung on the cross, Jesus spoke seven "final words"--statements that have much to teach us about Jesus, his Father, and ourselves: Father Forgive Them, Behold Your Son ? Behold Your Mother, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?, Today You Will Be with Me in Paradise, I Thirst, It Is Finished, Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit.--From Amazon.
