Crucifixion was one of the most tortuous forms of death under the Roman government. Most people died of a combination of exhaustion and asphyxiation. Therefore, speaking while on the cross was in credibly taxing and painful. Because of that, Jesus’ last words mean more to us than any other. These were the words he deemed important and powerful enough to say during his final hours. During Lent, we will use Adam Hamilton’s book Final Words from the Cross to look at the deeper meaning behind each of these phrases and what those words mean for our lives today. I encourage you to read the book along with the sermons during Lent.
