Sunday Adult Studies: ADULT LENTEN STUDY, “FINAL WORDS FROM THE CROSS”,– In life and in death, Jesus’ words Jesus’ words were powerful and meaningful. Despite the serious effort and increased pai increased pain required for Jesus to speak as he hung on the cross, Jesus spoke seven final words” – statements that have much to teach us about Jesus, His Father, and ourselves: Father Forgive Them; Behold Your Son…Behold Your Mother; My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me? Today, You Will Be With Me in Paradise; I thirst; It is Finished; Into Your Hands I commit My Spirit. This Lenten season, we will offer a new Adam Hamilton small group study, “Final Words from the Cross”. In this study, Hamilton explores these final words as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of those who stood near the cross. Each session begins with the biblical account followed by a first-person story as might have been told from the viewpoint of one of the characters at the cross. Then he will explore the meaning of Jesus’ dying words for our lives today. A final session, which recounts the words Jesus spoke following His resurrection, including what truly were the final words Jesus spoke while walking this earth, will be held on the Sunday after Easter.
