This morning I would like us to look at the things Jesus said while he was on the cross of Calvary.
When we combine the accounts of the Gospels we find that Jesus said 7 different things while he was on the cross. While all of these things could fit on just one piece of paper, what is revealed in them could fill volumes.
John 21:25 There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I think the whole world would not be big enough for all the books that would be written. (ICB)
Let's look now at the things Jesus said from the cross of calvary and what they reveal for our lives today.
