The Seven Last Words of Jesus on the Cross

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.
