7 Words on the Cross 2026

Luke 23:34 - Father Forgive Them For They Donot Know What They Are Doing. Sister Nombono stands to share the 1st word and says, "The primary reason for the crucifixion of Jesus was for you and I to be reconciled with God but before reconciliation takes place, there is a need for forgiveness. To forgive is to let go of an offense and pardon an offender! This forgiveness is born from love that holds no record of wrong doing. 1. We are forgiven inorder to behold the image of Our Father. This restoration and redemption offers a release from our sin, before God can renew us He has to restore us from sin. 2. Transformation and renewal. Forgiveness has a power to restore us and renew us. 3. We bare the image of God through the forgiveness of our sins." Luke 23:43, "I Assure You That Today You Will Be With Me In Paradise." Pastor Pitso says, "Paradise is a place that is meant for every Christian; A place held up for those who are going to follow the principles. Without Jesus the road there is no way to paradise. Jesus is the key to paradise therefore if you do not seek Christ, if you do not pursue a relationship with Christ; there us no way you will make it to paradise. Therefore seek God with all your heart so that you may enter Paradise." John 19:26-27, "Woman Behold Your Son, Son Behold Your Mother." Pastor Julius says, "The bible says men love your wives as God loved the church. Jesus is the husband and the church is the bride and in that book of Revelation the dragon was waiting to destroy the son that the woman had bore. A woman is responsible for birthing sons and it is the work of the bride to give birth to sons. Woman behold your son, church behold your son, son behold your church." Matthew 27:46, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" Pastor Marepholisitsoe says, " When Jesus was on the cross, he felt as though God had forsaken Him but God had not left Him. God came down as a man to live this life we are leaving but even Himself felt the pain of living this life. There are times where we feel like life is being sucked out of us but know and understand that God has not forsaken you, He is with you and He understands you. When Jesus was going through anguish He didn't call unto His disciples but He called unto His Father. When life gets difficult and hard, who do you call unto? In this Easter, when life becomes hard, go to your secret place and call unto your Father and cry out Father! He is waiting for your cry, He is waiting for you to call out to Him!" John 19:28 - I Am Thirsty! Brother Letlotlo says, "Jesus Christ for about 8 hours was running from Court to court and was declared not guilty but the very people he served; healed and blessed, asked that he be crucified and a thief that has been killing them, stealing from them and terrifying them, they asked that he be released. For 6 hours he was on the cross, when Jesus saw that the sacrifice has been offered, He said 'I am thirsty.' The solders thought it was physical thirst that Jesus cried for and they gave him wine and vinegar but Jesus was thirsty for rivers of living water." He further says, "In John 7, he went to the turbanacle, to feast for 7 days and on the last day, Jesus said “Anyone who is thirsty let them come to me,” When Jesus met the samaritan woman he asked for a drink and told the woman if only she knew who was before Him she would never thirst again. Go deeper, dig deeper for rivers of living waters are in you!" John 19:30 - It is finished Pastor Victor says, "What the Levitical and Aaronic priesthood could not achieve in it's full function, Jesus Christ achieved. When Jesus said it is finished, He was closing the former priesthood and introducing The Order Of Melchizedek. When Jesus said it is finished the bible says the cloth of the inner court was torn apart and when the cloth was torn apart, it was a sign that we will no longer need a priest to go for us into the inner court but we stand as priests to go out selves. When the cloth was torn, God was saying we no longer need to wait at the outter court but we can come and commune with Him in the inner court. We are from the incorruptible sin for Jesus said it is finished, and whatever we are going through has come to an end." Luke 23: 46 - Father Into Your Hands I Command My Spirit! Pastor Horo says, "What the the bible is saying is Jesus died, we need to understand that Jesus wasn't killed by Roman soldiers. He layed his life for you and I, He offered himself as the sacrifice. He revealed Himself as a sacrifice and a king. A man is appointed to sorrow but blessed God will bring humanity to rest. He came to announce that He has the message that is going to bring people to rest. People were bound by the teachings of the pharasiees so Jesus died to redeem them from teachings of the pharasiees. We have the promise of rest from the Lord while Moses and Israliets had the promise of the Land.
