Description:

As we continue with John's Crucifixion narrative, we come at last to Jesus' death. In this message we will analyze carefully the last two words Jesus spoke from the Cross according to John. Even though each statement consists of a single word, their meaning when seen in the context of John's entire Gospel are profound. They are words of invitation and triumph that literally echo in eternity. Paradoxically, they are words of intense suffering and glorious victory, as King Jesus speaks His final words from the throne of Golgotha.
