Just concluded a bible study on "Why did Christ have to die?" and i came across this page which talks about the words of the cross. Here is what it says...
Even in dying, Christ taught us how to live.
1. Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. - Luke 23:34
Forgiveness is better than revenge.
2. Assuredly, I say to you, today you wll be with Me in paradise. - Luke 23:43
Faith is rewarded with promise.
3. Woman, behold your Son!... Behold your mother! - John 19:26-27
Our own needs should not overshadow the needs of others.
4. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? - Mark 15:34
Anything that could jeopardize our relationship with God should produce anguish.
5. I thirst - John 19:28
These words, spoken to fulfill prophecy, remind us of the authority of Scripture
6. It is finished - John 19:30
Do not let yourself lose sight of your goal of doing God's will.
7. Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit. - Luke 23:46
In your suffering, entrust yourself to God.
