What's something hard, really hard, that you're facing?

Nancy Damas Waugamuth reminds you that Jesus can relate.

You see, there's nothing that you and I will ever experience in the physical or the emotional or the spiritual

the relational the psychological realm nothing that we will ever

experience in the realm of suffering that in some way Jesus did not partake in on our behalf.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy Namas Walgumath,

author of choosing gratitude.

From March 25, 2024, I'm Dana Gresch. I thirst. As we're about to hear this phrase isn't just a request for a drink. It's a profound statement.

Nancy continues in the series, incomparable.

Well, as we've been considering the seven words of Christ from the cross,

the sufferings of Christ are now drawing to a close. He's been

through his most intense period of agony, that period of great darkness that settled over the earth for three hours from noon to three o'clock in the afternoon

He's been condemned and forsaken by his father

Not because he hadn't done anything to deserve this, but because he had

actually become sin on our behalf.

He was hanging there on that cross in our place, dying the death that we deserved.

And in the last session we consider the fourth cry from the cross,

spoken there at 3 o'clock p.m. at the peak at the flood stage of Christ's

suffering in agony there on the cross when he cried out, my God, why have you

forsaken me? Now the final three cries follow on that one in rapid succession.

Today we want to look at the fifth and the shortest of the seven words that Jesus spoke from the

cross. So let me invite you to turn in your Bible to the Gospel of John chapter 19.
