- “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” Jesus’s first saying on the cross showcases His remarkable capacity for forgiveness, even amidst immense suffering.
- “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise” In His second saying on the cross, Jesus offers a profound message of salvation and redemption.
- “Woman, behold your son! … Behold your mother!” In the midst of His agonizing crucifixion, Jesus demonstrated His deep love and concern for His mother, Mary, and His beloved disciple, John.
- “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” In His fourth saying on the cross, Jesus utters the poignant words, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
- The events of Jesus’ final words. Jesus was ridiculed, tortured, and betrayed by the Jews. He took up His cross and was killed on the cross. He was hung, stripped of His clothes, on the cross between two criminals, suffering publicly after the Jewish people betrayed Him and insisted that He be killed despite not committing crimes.
- “Father, forgive them.” When Jesus cried out in prayer to God and asked Him to “forgive them for they know not what they do,” as discussed in Luke 23:34, He was looking past the violence that these men were committing against Him and seeing them as people.
- “You will see Me in paradise.” The second saying of Jesus on the cross, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise,” can be found in the Gospel of Luke, specifically Luke 23:43, where Jesus addresses one of the criminals crucified alongside Him.
- “Why have you forsaken Me?” Jesus said these words during His final hours, which were surely heartbreaking to hear. However, the disciples would’ve recognized them as a quote from Psalm 2, which starts with the same words.
- “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34). Luke records this first of the seven last sayings of Jesus. In saying this, Jesus was fulfilling the prophecy that He would make “intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:12).
- “You will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). Luke also records the second of the seven last sayings of Jesus. Two criminals, guilty and deserving of death, hung beside Jesus.
- “Woman, behold your son! … Behold your mother!” (John 19:26-27). John, the disciple Jesus had a special bond with, recorded the third of the seven last sayings of Jesus—the words of Jesus to His mother, Mary, and to John.
- “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46). Matthew and Mark both record this cry of Jesus that was the fourth of the seven last sayings of Jesus.
- “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” There’s an elderly Chinese man who does Tai Chi every morning at the park near my house. Sometimes I stop and watch him for a while.
- “Today you will be with me in Paradise.” Our first parents are driven out of Paradise. They are in exile. Restlessly they wander the earth. Their children build houses but can never find their home.
- “Woman, here is your son. Here is your mother.” The Lord God loved the man so much that one day in the garden he put him to sleep and took a part of him and from that part made woman.
- “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” In Jesus, we have a new ancestor and a new beginning. That is good news. But the good news comes at a cost.
