Unlike the rest of humanity, Jesus always spoke this way. There was never a moment in which he was not aware of his death. As the moment is upon him, the words he speaks from the Cross are no different than any word he spoke before. However, humanity listens with a different ear. “Last Words” is a ...

It has been said that the only place that we can meet God is at the Cross, these words show us that at the Cross is a God worth meeting. read more »
