Learning From Jesus' Final Words

 

"This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.  Listen to him." - MATTHEW 17:5. 

IT IS daytime, Nisan 14, C.E. After being falsely accused and being judged guilty of a crime he did not commit, Jesus is mocked, cruelly tortured, and then nailed to a  torture stake. Nails pierce his hands and feet.  Every breath he takes, every word he speaks, is painful.  But he must speak-he has important things to say.

Let us discuss the words Jesus spoke as he was dying on the torture stake and the lessons we can learn from them. In other words, let us "listen to him." - MATTHEW 17:5.

"FATHER, FORGIVE THEM"
