not what they do

terrible sin. They have made a god out
of gold and worshiped it. Please forgive
their sin

name humble themselves, and pray
and seek my face and turn from their
wicked ways, then I will hear from

heal their land.

with me in Paradise.
Luke 23:43

Jesus remember
me

Do you not fear God, since you are

under the same sentence of
condemnation? And we indeed justly,
for we are receiving the due reward of
our deeds; but this man has done
nothing wrong." And he said, "Jesus,
remember me when you come into
your kingdom.

though they are wicked. I will forget
their sins.

And now we
remember..
And they remembered his words
Luke 24:8

remembered us

separated from Christhaving no hope
and without God in the world. But now
in Christ Jesus you who once were far
off have been brought near by the
blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:12-13

found to be with child from the Holy
Spirit.

A sword will pierce your

heart
And Simeon blessed them and said to

thoughts from many hearts may be
revealed.

them, My mother and my brothers are
those who hear the word of God and
do it.

The Fourth Word

Jesus cried out with a loud voice,
saying, "My God, my God, why have
you forsaken me?"
Matthew 27:46

An obedient son
And being found in human form, he
humbled himself by becoming
obedient to the point of death, even
death on a cross.
Philippians 2:8

On the cross Jesus recalls

a psalm
I am poured out like water, and all my
bones are out of joint; my heart is like
wax; it is melted within my breast; my
strength is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you
lay me in the dust of death.

For dogs encompass me; a company of

evildoers encircles me; they have
pierced my hands and feet-- I can
count all my bones-- they stare and
gloat over me; they divide my
garments among them, and for my
clothing they cast lots.
Psalm 22:14-18

What shall we say

And now, O our God, what shall we
say after this? For we have forsaken
your commandments

Not forsake but for our

sake..
For our sake he made him to be sin
who knew no sin, so that in him we
might become the righteousness of
God.

So there is hope
For the word of the cross is folly to
those who are perishing, but to us who
are being saved it is the power of
God.
1 Corinthians 1:18

The Fifth Word

I thirst.
John 19:28

Salvation is thirsty
work

And he was very thirsty, and he called

upon the LORD and said, "You have
granted this great salvation by the
hand of your servant, and shall I now
die of thirst and fall into the hands of
the uncircumcised?"
Judges 15:18

God provides
You gave your good Spirit to instruct
them and did not withhold your manna
from their mouth and gave them water
for their thirst.

God answers
When the poor and needy seek water,
and there is none, and their tongue is
parched with thirst, I the LORD will
answer them; I the God of Israel will
not forsake them.
Isaiah 41:17

God satisfies
Blessed are those who hunger and
thirst for righteousness, for they shall
be satisfied.

So we come to Jesus
Jesus said to them, I am the bread of
life; whoever comes to me shall not
hunger, and whoever believes in me
shall never thirst.
John 6:35

The Lamb leads us to

water

They shall hunger no more, neither

thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike
them, nor any scorching heat. For the
Lamb in the midst of the throne will be
their shepherd, and he will guide them
to springs of living water, and God will
wipe away every tear from their eyes.
Revelation 7:16-17

And living water

flows

On the last day of the feast, the great

day, Jesus stood up and cried out, If
anyone thirsts, let him come to me
and drink. Whoever believes in me, as
the Scripture has said, Out of his heart
will flow rivers of living water.
John 7:37-38

The Sixth Word

It is finished
John 19:30

Jesus chose to lay his life

down
For this reason the Father loves me,
because I lay down my life that I may
take it up again. No one takes it from
me, but I lay it down of my own
accord. I have authority to lay it down,
and I have authority to take it up
again.
John 10:17-18

Mission
accomplished

For I am already being poured out as

a drink offering, and the time of my
departure has come. I have fought the
good fight, I have finished the race, I
have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:6-7

Job done
He is the radiance of the glory of God
and the exact imprint of his nature,
and he upholds the universe by the
word of his power. After making
purification for sins, he sat down at the
right hand of the Majesty on high
Hebrews 1:3

He sat down
But when Christ had offered for all
time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat
down at the right hand of God, waiting
from that time until his enemies should
be made a footstool for his feet. For by
a single offering he has perfected for
all time those who are being
sanctified.
Hebrews 10:12-14

Once for all

For the death he died he died to sin,
once for all, but the life he lives he
lives to God. So you also must consider
yourselves dead to sin and alive to
God in Christ Jesus.
Romans 6:10-11

For all who believe

For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish but
have eternal life. For God did not send
his Son into the world to condemn the
world, but in order that the world
might be saved through him.
John 3:16-17

There is freedom
There is therefore now no
condemnation for those who are in
Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of
life has set you free in Christ Jesus
from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:1-2

The Seventh Word

Father, into your hands I commit my
spirit!
Luke 23:46

Psalm 31
Into your hand I commit my spirit; you
have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful
God.
Psalm 31:5

As for me
As for me, I would seek God, and to
God would I commit my cause
Job 5:8

God is trustworthy
Commit your way to the LORD; trust
in him, and he will act.
Psalm 37:5

So dont be afraid
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as
though dead. But he laid his right hand
on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first
and the last, and the living one. I died,
and behold I am alive forevermore,
and I have the keys of Death and
Hades.
Revelation 1:17-18

Amen
Now to him who is able to keep you
from stumbling and to present you
blameless before the presence of his
glory with great joy, to the only God,
our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our
Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and
authority, before all time and now and
forever. Amen.
Jude 1:24-25
