Free-Text First Friday: Good Friday and the Words of Jesus from the Cross

The Rev. Christopher Amen of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Pipestone, MN and the Rev. Jesse Baker of St. John Lutheran Church in Hardwick, MN join the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to discuss the words of Jesus from the cross. On this special Good Friday episode of Thy Strong Word, Pastor Booe and his guests explore the final words of Jesus from the cross. From “Father, forgive them” to “into your hands I commit my spirit,” the so-called seven last words of Jesus Christ on the cross are a vivid look into the mind and heart of our Savior as he endures the ultimate punishment for us and greatest act of love the world has ever known. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
