In this three-part Easter sermon series entitled Last Words, Pastor Jodi examines the finals words of Jesus before his death on the cross. With every breath slow, painful, and difficult to draw, the words Jesus spoke were very intentional and hold great significance. They hold truth that will bring freedom to all who embrace them.
Part One – My God, why?
If you have ever asked God ‘why’ or if you have ever felt alone or abandoned… this is a message for you! “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way. Hebrews 4:15
The scripture reveals to us that as Jesus hung on the cross, he felt those same feelings we sometimes battle. He cried out, ‘My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” This first messages in our Easter Series entitled, “Last Words” is a message of hope, help, and healing.
Part Two – Father, Forgive Them!
If you have ever struggled to forgive those who hurt you… this is a message for you!
Jesus was betrayed and abandoned. They lied about him, spit on him, beat him, whipped him, stripped him, struck him, and finally drove nails into his hands and feet. And what do you suppose, enduring all that, were the first words out of Christ’s mouth after being hoisted up on the cross? Luke records that he said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.”
Part Three – It Is Finished!
One word from the lips of Jesus changed the world! Interested? Join us for this Resurrection Sunday message of power, hope, and freedom.
Our prayer for you this Easter is that you would receive Christ’s gift of salvation and experience life in Jesus’ name. If you would like to talk to a pastor about how to receive Jesus as your Savior email tonya@freedomministries.ca today!
