So for the last six or seven weeks actually we've been, we've been looking at the power

of words and how words have the ability to reveal what's in our hearts, have the ability

to disclose what really matters to us.

And so we've been looking at last words.

In fact, we've been looking at the seven last words of Jesus, but one of the things I

keep forgetting is, did not everyone believe that?

Not everyone believes that last words actually are significant.

In fact, the very first week, if you're with us, the very first week we had a number

of last words of famous people and one of those famous people is a guy named Karl Marx.

And I don't agree with literally anything Karl Marx has ever said, but at one point

on his deathbed, his housekeeper came into his room and asked him if he had any last

words for posterity.

And he responded, he said, get out of here and leave me alone.

Last words are for fools who haven't said enough already.

So not everyone agrees that last words are significant.

In fact, there's a reason, too, we can also hesitate because we realize the insufficiency

of those last words.

There's an author, her name is Amy Harmon.

And once she once wrote, she said, no matter how many words we get, there was always going

to be the last one.

And one word is never enough.

I really appreciate her pointing that out.
