The Seven Words of the Cross

The words spoken by Jesus Christ the promised Messiah. The only begotten Son of God sent into the world to save mankind from their sins forever. As Christ hung in agony on the cross being crucified to pay the penalty, once and for all, for the sins of mankind against Holy Almighty God, the Lord spoke from the cross. Here below are the last words of God Almighty in human form, before he died on The Cross at Mount Calvary.

And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide His garments.

When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

(Christ laments sufferings and the agonizing penalty of sin.)
4^th WORD - Mark 15:34

A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to His mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And he bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
