Seven Words

<p>While many of us naturally wish to avoid the reality of the cross it's from the cross that Jesus speaks and shows his deepest love for us. It's from the cross that Jesus' full humanity draws us closest to him. It's from the cross as Jesus breathes his last breath and speaks his last words that his deep trust in the Father and his divine glory are revealed. Those who listen to Jesus' last words from the cross will discover what he most wants them (the world) to hear and will experience an intimate and divine awe only available to those who are willing to draw near his cross. </p> <p>In <em>Seven Words</em> Susan Robb looks at the seven last words of Christ on the cross through a lens that finds life and hope in his final sayings while exploring each from a biblical and historical perspective. The book brings a hopeful and contemplative take on the cross during the weeks of Lent.</p> <p> Chapters Include: </p> <ol> <li>Father forgive them for they know not what they do.</li> <li>Truly I say to you today you will be with me in paradise. </li> <li>Woman behold your son.
