Seven Sayings of Jesus On the Cross

Seven Sayings of Jesus  On the Cross

Christ Jesus died on the Cross to redeem mankind, to save us from our sins because of his love for us. As recorded in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the Holy Bible, Jesus Christ was mocked, scorned, and tortured in the praetorium. He carried his cross up the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem to Calvary, was nailed to the Cross and hung between two common criminals, and suffered an indescribable end, recalled by the Church on Good Friday of Holy Week.

The last seven expressions of Jesus Christ on the Cross recorded in Scripture.

"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit."
