Seven Words to the Cross FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Gospels record what are known as "the seven last words" of Jesus -- the last phrases spoken from the cross by Christ in the final hours of his earthly life. In this study, popular author J. Ellsworth Kalas explores the other side. We participants and passers-by -- those who were there at Calvary, and all the rest of us down through the generations -- just what has been our response to the cross?
"The Word of Scorn"; "The Late Word"; "The Word of Indifference"; "The Word of Faith"; "The Word of Testimony"; "The Courageous Word"; and "The Futile Word." Come accept the author's invitation to be transformed by the power of new life in God as you learn about these "words" that we have spoken in answer to all that Christ has done for us.
This seven-session study, appropriate for both group and individual use, provides one lesson for each week in Lent. Each lesson includes a Scripture reference, a brief reflection, questions for study or discussion, a brief prayer, and a focus for the coming week.
