Each of Jesus’ words summarize the purpose of his life and its implication on our life. This is an 8-day devotional that takes you through the 7 utterances of Jesus from the cross, one utterance a day. We end on the 8th day reflecting on Easter.

    BOOKS

    This book is a collection of meditations about various persons standing near or at the Cross of Jesus on Good Friday listening to His Seven Last Words.

    Why did Jesus have to die? Millions of people believe that Jesus died so that God could forgive them, but why? Why would God need an innocent man to die to forgive us? Isn't it an injustice for God to punish an innocent man for the crimes of another? Why couldn't he simply forgive us without Jesus dying, just as we forgive one another without exacting some form of punishment? How does this all make sense? This book takes a fresh look at the information.
