In this Adult Bible Education session, of, The Last Words of Jesus, we reflect on Jesus’ final words from the cross: “It is finished” and “Into Your hands I commit My spirit.” This talk explores the completed work of Christ, the fulfillment of God’s plan for redemption, and the assurance we find in trusting our lives fully into God’s hands.

In this session of The Last Words of Jesus, we reflect on Jesus’ words from the cross, “I thirst” (John 19:28). Exploring the mystery of Christ as fully God and fully human, this message reveals the paradox of the cross—where suffering, sacrifice, and divine love meet. Through Scripture and theology, we see how these simple words point to the depth of God’s unconditional love and redemption for the world.

In this Last Words of Jesus session, Hari Radhakrishnan reflects on Jesus’ cry from the cross: “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” Exploring Psalm 22, this talk shows how Jesus points from suffering to hope and God’s ultimate redemption. The lesson highlights metanoia—a change of heart and perspective that helps us see God’s purpose even in the midst of suffering.

In this session of “The Last Words of Jesus,” we reflect on Christ’s words from the cross to His mother and to John the Apostle: “Woman, here is your son… Here is your mother.” (John 19). We explore the biblical context, the tradition surrounding Mary and John, and what this tender moment reveals about Jesus’ compassion — and the new spiritual family He forms at the cross.

Week 2 of our Adult Bible Education series, “The Last Words of Jesus,” takes us to Luke 23:43 and Christ’s stunning promise to the thief on the cross: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” We explore sin, confession, grace, and the immediacy of salvation. We are all one of the two thieves—the difference is contrition and trust. A powerful reminder that Christ’s final words from the cross are personal, certain, and filled with hope—for today and for eternity.

In this first session of The Last Words of Jesus, we reflect on Christ’s opening words from the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Set against the suffering and silence of the crucifixion, this class explores the depth of Jesus’ forgiveness, the seriousness of sin, and the hard but healing call to forgive others—and ourselves.
