From the cross, Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” In this message, Pastor Ben Young explores the meaning behind these powerful words. Discover how Christ entered into humanity's deepest pain and why His sacrifice brings forgiveness, acceptance, and hope. Even in moments of doubt and questioning, the cross reveals the depth of God's love and the path to redemption.

Sometimes the last words of people on death row or who are executed aren't so great. But when it comes to Jesus' last words before he's executed, they're not trivial and they're not irrelevant or ironic or anything, but they actually are serving us, not himself, but us.You can find a transcript of this video and over 900 more devotions like this one on our website at PeaceDevotions.com.If you find value from these devotions we'd encourage you to support our ministry.

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on January 21, 2026) As we approach the end of our exposition of the Book of Revelation, we are now come to the next to last verse. This verse contains the last words of Jesus Christ spoken as inspired Scripture. The last message that He saw fit to communicate to...

It is of interest to see the final words of those just moments before their deaths. But probably the most quoted and remembered final words we see from a criminal on a cross.

Jesus speaks a powerful promise to a dying criminal: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” In this message, we discover why Jesus suffered to save us from sin—because no one is beyond God's mercy. 

The cross was not the end of Jesus's family; the cross was where it began.

As Jesus hung on the cross, He was not silent. He still had things He needed to say. Let's discover the third magnificent word which was aimed at His mother and John the disciple—and why those final words are significant!

This third week of our exploration of Jesus' Last Words, Tom Parker invites us into one of the most intimate metaphors Jesus used - the vine and the branches. At its heart, this passage reveals a stunning truth: we are offered friendship with God himself. Not just servanthood, not just obedience, but actual friendship. The imagery is organic and unavoidable - branches cannot produce grapes apart from the vine, and we cannot bear spiritual fruit apart from Jesus. What makes this message so compelling is its practicality. Abiding is not some mystical concept beyond our reach; it is as simple as talking to a friend, listening to their words, and learning their ways. We discover that prayer is not a technique for relaxation but a conversation with someone who loves us with the same love the Father has for Jesus - a love so vast our minds cannot fully comprehend it. The fruit that grows from this connection is not manufactured through effort but flows naturally: love, joy, kindness, and a sacrificial heart for others. This teaching challenges our American individualism by reminding us that being grafted into Christ means being grafted into His body, the church. We need each other, messy and imperfect as we are. The rhythm of the Christian life becomes like a heartbeat - drawing near to God and then being sent out, only to return again. This is not about religious duty but about life itself, for apart from this connection, we wither.

Last Words - Part 2Today, You Will Be with Me in Paradise | Luke 23:32-43Big Idea: Jesus' death on the cross is the only hope for sinners1. Jesus suffered for sinners (Luke 23:1-5, 22-23)2. Jesus' heart is drawn to sinners (Luke 23:42-43)3. Jesus saves sinners utterly (Luke 23:40-43)

What is your attitude towards Jesus' death on the cross? In the last words Jesus said to a criminal hanging on the cross next to him, we find the heart of Jesus towards sinners who see their need and cry out for mercy. The question left for us to ask is, do we see our own need? Ryan Nast helps us examine our hearts in light of Jesus' last words to a dying criminal.

We continue our message series, The Last Words of Jesus, as Pastor Michael Wellman walks us through Luke 23:35–43 and Jesus' powerful promise from the cross: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” As Jesus suffers on the cross, those around Him respond in very different ways. Some mock and demand signs, others dismiss His power entirely, while one desperate sinner turns to Him in humble faith. In this passage, we're confronted with a question: What attitude do we have toward Jesus' suffering? Jesus suffered to save sinners. Salvation is not earned by the righteous, but received by sinners who trust in Him.

Join us as we look at John 19:26-27 and reflect on this powerful moment from the cross and discover what Christ's selfless love means for how we live and love today.

Msgr. Tom Richter joins Patrick for the fourth of a special Lenten Series on the 7 Last Words of Jesus – today’s topic, Spiritual Abandonment The Allusions of Control. (8:53) Jesus and Psalm 22. (21:24) Break 1 (22:27) Tom - I've always wondered if Jesus felt because of his humanity we as human would feel abandoned by God. Was that an expression of his human feeling because he was fully human. How can Christ feel he was abandoned? if he were fully human, he would feel that way. Can you explain that? (26:27) How Jesus abandoned Himself to God. How can we trust that God still loves us through the challenging times in our life? (38:54) Break 2 How can we cultivate Faith in our lives? (45:18) Entrusting to God all of those who will be affected by my abandonment.

Last Words | Advocate - John 14:15-26 - Clint Leavitt by Midtown Presbyterian Church

In Luke 23, Jesus speaks His first words from the cross: “Father, forgive them.” Instead of anger or revenge, He responds to His enemies with mercy. These words reveal why forgiveness is at the center of the Gospel.

Jesus still had things He needed to say as He hung on the cross…Seven final words…Significant words…Magnificent words…This week, we continue exploring the Last Words of Christ, and look at the second of those seven last words.

Last Words - Part 1Father, Forgive Them | Luke 23:34, Psalm 103:8-12Big Idea: God's heart is to forgive sinners.Who is God, what has God done, and who are those that need forgiveness?1. The nature of God (Psalm 103:8-9)2. The work of God (Psalm 103:12)3. The people of God (Psalm 103:11, 13, 17)

In this final message from the book of Romans, Pastor Jim Schultz walks us through Romans 16:17–27, Paul's last words of warning and worship to the church. As the apostle closes his letter, he lovingly urges believers to guard against false teachers who cause division and distort the gospel. With pastoral wisdom, this sermon explores how to discern truth from error, remain “wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil,” and stand firm in Christ's victory.You'll also see the beauty of gospel partnership as Paul highlights fellow workers in ministry, reminding us that the Church is united across cities and generations. Most importantly, this passage lifts our eyes to the only wise God who strengthens and preserves His people through the gospel of Jesus Christ.Be encouraged to pursue obedience of faith, cherish biblical truth, and respond in heartfelt worship: “To the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ. Amen.”

2 Samuel 23:1–39 || Last Words and Mighty Men || Josh King by Meridian Church

What would you want to convey with your last words? How would you address the people and situations that had wronged you, which led to your death? In this message in the Last Words of Jesus series, we're challenged by the first statement Jesus declared from the cross. It's something so radical and profound, it will change how you see God and yourself forever.

Fr. Joseph Johnson joins Patrick for the third of a special Lenten Series on the 7 Last Words of Jesus – today’s topic: Mary’s Role at the Cross (3:26) What is the context in these words of Jesus from the Cross? What Who does John represent in this scene? (13:25) What is Mary’s role in the Passion of our Lord? (18:08) Break 1 What are practical ways in which we can share in the passion of Christ? (25:39) Jim - My mother is starting to fail. My wife asked who should we pray for as a caregiver. We stopped thinking about the saints and then turned to Jesus on the cross. Jesus found a caregiver for his own mother. Found great consolation. Kurt - Redemptive suffering and joining to Christ on the cross. Very rarely do I hear anyone talking about that. We not only have that opportunity, but for the redemption of the world. We are commanded to that in John 15 and John 13. I give you a new commandment... There's no greater good than to offer suffering for them. (34:06) Break 2 How does the prophecy of Simeon play a role in Mary’s heart at the Cross? (38:37) what can we expect from the love of Mary and how it helps us in our lives? (41:21) Sharon - When my son died. I identified with Mary for release. My son was 50 and died of a rare cancer. The loss was something I knew she understood. Gave me a great deal of help during that time. Michelle - Abortion and aborted children. Great sorrow. I delivered that child into Mary's hands.

Message from Kendra Haloviak Valentine on February 21, 2026

IL – Fr. James Kubicki joins Patrick for the second of a special Lenten Series on the 7 Last Words of Jesus – today’s topic: Repentance Who was St. Dismas? (7:53) where does the word repentance come from? (17:31) Deacon Shawn - I think the comment about conversion vs repentance is tied together. Reading a book . Repentance is a big part of it. Self reliance on God vs. Surrender. Deeper conversion helps navigate. (20:58) Break 1 (22:12) Gene - I was in a car accident 15 years ago. Someone was killed in the accident. I was convicted of vehicular homicide. Incarcerated for it. I felt and rationalized that if they weren't in the middle of the highway, this wouldn't have happened. Last 5 years, I've been in repentance in the dark night of the soul. Mourning and not rationalizing now. What is the meaning of the word “today” you will be with me in paradise? (36:22) Break 2 Bonnie - Repentance and conviction of the Holy Spirit. Adult children have cut me off. I'm focusing on my part. I can't fix it or fix anybody. The goodness of the holy spirit and that can bring us repentance and help us to surrender to the will of God. Accepting the consequences. (42:09) John - My problem was I felt I couldn't be forgiven for the sins I committed. When I repented, it was very difficult. I still struggle. Nicole - Question - speaking about what I've been pondering. I told my friend I don't hold on to any past sins, and I know it's a sin to not accept God's mercy. In my dream last night, I feel something was being revealed from a past sin. Had desire to go to confession. How do I go to priest about it? Wondering if I confessed it.

On today's episode, we welcome back our friend and author, Liz Kelly to talk about the most fitting Ash Wednesday topic: Jesus' last words. Cassandra and Liz discuss how Jesus' last 7 utterances on the cross - said in His greatest moments of suffering - teach us about the meaning of our own suffering. Since Jesus taught us to pray, His last words on the cross can become our own words in prayer and shed light on the fruit that is being born from our own suffering.Links:A Place Called Golgatha: Meditations on the Last Words of ChristWord on Fire Women's Formation CommunityAnchored by Hope: Meditations to Calm the Anxious SoulLiz Kelly Website

Fr. John Eckert joins Patrick for the start of a special Lenten Series on the 7 Last Words of Jesus – today’s topic, Forgiveness What was he scene of the Crucifixion? How is trust in God the Father shown in this word? (16:20) Jason - I grew up in a tough household. Joined military at 17. Mom had mental illness, dad was a military man and constantly gone. Haven't seen them for years. Fighting with forgiveness and it's a battle on a daily basis. Interested if there's specific scripture or guidance to help. (25:20) Break 1 Who put Jesus on the Cross? (31:21) Linda - Why is it that a parent can forgive their children, but children are unable to forgive and hold onto things and not easily forgive us? (35:58) Jim - I'm at a point where there are family members that have been disrespectful to me and children. Children are older now, but family member favors one over the other because they are the godparent. Prayed about forgiving, confession, adoration, etc. I'm at a point where I don't want anything bad to happen, but don't want to be around them. Is that holding on to a grudge? (40:27) Break 2 (42:04) How is Forgiveness something we can strive for in our lives? Yolie – Is it mandatory to forgive others?
