Jesus Christ, God's only Son, endured His greatest personal agony and pain while nailed to a stake at Calvary, despised and rejected by the humanity He had come to serve. The night before, His disciples deserted Him in fear, and one betrayed Him to His executioners. As the only perfect Person who ever lived, He took upon Himself the consequence of every sin humanity had ever or would ever commit. From Golgotha, outside Jerusalem's walls, He spoke seven times during His final hours, revealing the depths of His mind and heart through statements preserved in the New Testament. His first statement, recorded by Luke, was a prayer to God: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." Amidst Roman soldiers, mocking crowds, religious leaders, and grieving followers, including His mother Mary, Jesus sought forgiveness for His crucifiers, showing His love and commitment to serve even in agonizing pain. His second statement offered hope to a repentant thief crucified beside Him, assuring a future in God's Kingdom. The third expressed concern for His mother, entrusting her care to His disciple John, honoring family responsibility despite His suffering. In His fourth statement, Jesus cried out, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" Spoken after three hours of supernatural darkness, this reflected His total aloneness, bearing the sins of mankind and experiencing separation from His Father. He felt the anguish of being cut off, stepping into humanity's place to pay the penalty of sin. His fifth statement revealed physical thirst, requesting a drink from the crowd, fulfilling prophecy and underscoring His true humanity and suffering. The sixth, "It is finished," proclaimed the completion of His redemptive work, the penalty for the world's sins paid in full, spoken with humility and focus on His mission. Finally, His seventh statement, "Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit," affirmed His trust in God as He gave up His life, showing complete dedication even at death. These final words from the stake stand as a powerful message of God's love, offering encouragement and hope for victory over sin and death through His sacrifice. Jesus overcame every obstacle placed by satan and deceived men, demonstrating that even in severe suffering, His thoughts were for others, His mission, and His Father.
