Jesus' Words from the Cross, Part 1

Each year during the week of Easter, Reformed Baptist Church of Kansas City focuses on the Cross of Christ on Wednesday and then the Resurrection of Christ on Sunday.

For Easter of 2011, the text of John 19:16-20:18 was used. And the Sunday and Wednesday before Easter was used for a two-part sermon using the seven sayings of Christ from the cross as an outline.

This first sermon on the "sayings from the cross" presented Christ as God the Savior (His mercy emphasized) with "Father, forgive them..." and "Today I will see you in paradise..." And then Christ as the God-man (His humanity emphasized) with "Woman, behold your son" and "I thirst!".
