It has been called the greatest Christian sermon ever.
It started about noon and lasted three hours.
Even after nearly 2,000 years, the scope and magnitude of what was preached is still being unpacked.
What I am describing is the crucifixion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus at Golgotha.
Between His being nailed to His Cross and His Death, the 11th. and 12th. Stations of a traditional Way of the Cross, He spoke eight sentences. Grouping two together, they became know as His "Seven Last Words". They have been a source of contemplation and meditation for centuries, They have even been set to music by some of the most famous composers of all time.
As has been the tradition in this infinitesimal corner of the universe, I once again offer my very humble considerations of what Jesus said. The format remains the same: one set of "Words" from Palm Sunday to Holy Saturday, posted at "the hour of mercy". As always, I hope they inspire you to seek out those who provide more depth than what I have written.
The time has come.
His Hour has come.
Let us be at the most famous pulpit of all, with attentive ears, mind, heart, and soul.
