The Seven Words of Our Lord on the Cross

Seven pronouncements were made by Our Lord in His passion on the Cross. They were a lifeblood for us all.

At very few instances did He talk during His trial or while being tortured and reviled. He forfeited His own right, and conceded His self-respect. "Love does not seek its own" (1 Cor. 13:5).

But while on the Cross, He spoke out, when it behooved Him to speak. He spoke out for our sake, our benefit and salvation. Each word had its own impact. We are going to discuss these points in depth
