<p>In life and in death, Jesus&#39; words were powerful and meaningful. Despite the serious effort and increased pain required for Jesus to speak as he hung on the cross, Jesus spoke seven 'final words'--statements that have much to teach us about Jesus, his Father, and ourselves:</p>
<ul>
<li>Father Forgive Them</li>
<li>Today You Will Be with Me in Paradise</li>
<li>Behold Your Son...Behold Your Mother</li>
<li>My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?</li>
<li>I Thirst</li>
<li>It Is Finished . . . Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit</li>
<li>Postscript: The Words After That</li>
</ul>

<p>In <em>24 Hours That Changed the World</em>, Adam Hamilton took us on a Lenten journey through the last day of Jesus&#39; life. Now in this inspiring follow-up book, Hamilton explores these final words as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of those who stood near the cross.</p>
<p>Each chapter begins with the biblical account followed by a first-person story as might have been told from the viewpoint of one of the characters at the cross. Then the chapter explores the meaning of Jesus&#39; dying words for our lives today. Following the last statement, a postscript recounts the words Jesus spoke following his resurrection, including what truly were the final words Jesus spoke while walking this earth.</p>
