Words from the cross~

I am grateful for the variety of sayings that Jesus offered from the cross. I don't value one over the other, but will pray on each one as my need arises, or perhaps I should say, as God calls me. Margaret Bullitt-Jonas addresses each of these in a wonderful little book entitled Christ's Passion, Our Passions, which I have mentioned in "Books".

One    “Father, forgive them for they know not
   what they do.”  Luke 23.32-38
Two     “Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
    Luke 23.19-43
Three   “Woman, behold your son. Son, behold your
    mother.” John 19.23-27
Four    “My God, my God, why have you forsaken
    me?” Matthew 27.45-49
Five     “I thirst.” John 19.28-2
Six      “It is finished.” John 19.30
Seven  “Father, into your hands I commend my
    spirit.” Luke 23. 46-49
