The last words of any man are significant, but how much more when those last words are spoken by the God man, the Lord Jesus?

In today's study, we visit the cross and listen to the final words of Christ spoken just before his death.

ourselves like God sees us, the sooner we enter

The Bible says in verse 32, there were also two other

malefactors led with him to be put to death. And when they were come to the place,

which is called Calvary, there they crucified him and the malefactors, one on the right
