Final Words

From the Cross

By: Adam Hamilton

Narrated by: Sean Runnette

In life and in death, Jesus’ words were powerful and meaningful. Despite the serious effort and 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

In 24 Hours That Changed the World, Adam Hamilton took us on a Lenten journey through the last day of Jesus' life. Now in this inspiring follow-up book, Hamilton explores these final words as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of those who stood near the cross. Each chapter 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 the chapter explores the meaning of Jesus' dying words for our lives today. Following the last statement, a postscript recounts the words Jesus spoke following his resurrection, including what truly were the final words Jesus spoke while walking this earth.

Get to know the full story

This book is thought provoking! We think we know the story of the crucifixion of Jesus, but this takes us soooo much deeper! There is so much symbolism in His story that many of us miss, but it’s all discussed in this concise book!! It should be part of any serious study of Jesus life, and especially during Lent!!

The love that Jesus has for me.

This story in the way it was written surrounds me with hugs from Jesus.

Thought provoking and wonderfully compassionate.

I listened to this book as part of my 2021 Lenten journey. thank you for helping me reflect on His final words. Simon of Cyrene chapter, inflamed my passion for my Trinity.
