The Seven Statements of Christ on the Cross
In the midst of agony and suffering Jesus found the strength to utter seven lasting statements from the Cross. These statements each express the heart of Jesus and
the things He was most interested in. Notice what truths these seven statements contain.
1. Forgiveness... Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what
they do." And they divided His garments and cast lots. Luke 23:34
2. Heaven… And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with
Me in Paradise." Luke 23:43
3.
Family… When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved
standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" Then He said to
the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his
own home. John 19:26-27
4.
Separation… And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying,
"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken
Me?" Matthew 27:46
5.
Fulfillment of Scripture...After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accom-

plished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!" John 19:28
6.
Completion...So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. John 19:30
7.
Submission...And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, 'into Your
hands I commit My spirit.' " Having said this, He breathed His last. Luke 23:46
We just made it back from a great weekend at EU (Evangelism University). This year at
EU our 9th-12th graders learned about being a
vine. John 15:1-5 “I am the true vine, and my
Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch
in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that
does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even
more fruitful. You are already clean because of
the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as
I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by
itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you
bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the
vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me
and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart
from me you can do nothing. .Remain in me, as I
also remain in you.
It was a very uplifting weekend. Everyone who
went learned how to evangelize and be a true
Vine!
Hike with Mike is
this Saturday the
24th. We always
have an awesome
hike. This year
Mike has a special
trip planned. We
will leave at 8 A.M.
and be back around 5 P.M. We will be
going to Chattanooga and everyone will
need to bring $5 plus money for one
meal. You will also need to bring a
packed light lunch and some water for
the Hike. Last years hike was truly amazing and this years will be just as awesome. See Josh Pierce or Mike Corley if
you plan to attend.
