THE 7 WORDS OF THE CROSS
We are in the ester weak, a weak we as Christians called the Holy weak, I want us to take this time to view and analyze the 7 words of the cross.
1 Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him verily I said unto thee to day shall thou be with me in paradise. Jesus was speaking to one of the thief on the cross, after the thief recognize that Jesus is Lord. This is the insurance that we as Christian that believe that Jesus is our Lord and Savior, our labor in the Lord is not in vine we will surely reign with Christ in paradise.
2.Luke 23:34 Than Jesus said Fateh forgive them , for they know not what they do. For all what our Lord went through, he was beaten, he was spit in the face, going under pain for crime that he did not committed, something that he had to do for the plan of God concerning our life to be fulfilled, with all the pain yet he ask the father to forgive the evil one because they never knew that this was the will of God concern mankind, this should tell us as Christian we should learn how to forgive.
3 St. John 19:26 -27 When Jesus therefore saw his mother and the disciple standing by whom he love, he saith to his mother, Woman behold thou son than saith to the disciple behold thou, mother, and from that hour that disciple took her unto his own house. I saw some one at the point of death tell her sister, my daughter is your daughter from now on from that day to this date that child only know the aunty as her mother. Many time people betray other people trust when they put their confidence in them, in Liberia many time people go to the interior part of the country, they go to some poverty stricken friends and family member request from them to carry one or two of their children to help them to be educated, but only to bring them to be treated as slave, while their children are getting the best of treatment, yet they called their selves Christians attending all church activities. we are to be our brothers keepers in time of situation, Mary the mother of Jesus had other family members, but Jesus couldn't have trusted any of them but only member of his group because of the kind of discipline he put in them, so as Christian let us be our brothers keepers
4 Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice saying, Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani? Which is, being interpreted, my God, my God, why hast though forsaken me? the ninth hour is the injured and stoppage time of any situation, trial time or temptation in our life, this is when we are at the point of no turning back, all we had to do is to look up the hall for where cometh our help, that is the LORD God Almighty and he will carry us through.
5 t. John 19 After this Jesus knowing that all things where now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith I thirst. When we have gone through all all king of calamity because the gospel, when we have won a race or going through certain situation we get thirsty for the word of God for divine solution, I can remember during the Ebola or corona various pandemic the desire for the word of God were on the increased, people get thirsty for the word of God when the spirt of the Lord rest upon them. Remember Christ promised that he will sent us the Comforter, and the Comforter which is the holy spirit is with us.
6 St. John 19:30 When Jesus therefore receive the vinegar he said it is finish. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ mission was accomplish , because of Him we can now face tomorrow, we have the assurance that after our work on earth is done we will wear the crown
7 Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he saith , Father, into thou hand I commend my Spirit, and having said this he give up the ghost. This world is not our home , Believer or non Believer, we are all just passing through, but for Believers, when the night come and the hour has gone, in the arms of sweet deliverance we are going to laid our heavy burden down by the river side where our spirit will be in the hands of God
