Dr. Erwin Lutzer
From the brutal darkness of Calvary emerged seven statements that would forever illuminate the heart of God. In this compelling series, renowned paster and teacher Dr. Erwin Lutzer, of Moody Institute, guides us through Jesus’ final words – declarations that pierce the shadows of human suffering to reveal divine purpose, unshakeable love, and transformative power.
These weren’t mere whispers of a dying man. Each word, spoken through parched lips and labored breath, carries the weight of heaven’s redemptive plan. From “Father, forgive them” to “It is finished,” we witness both the humanity of Christ in His anguish and the divinity of God in His sovereign design.
Drawing from the prophetic canvas of Isaiah 53, Dr. Lutzer unveils how Christ’s wounds – each lash, each thorn, each nail – became channels of healing for humanity. These weren’t random acts of cruelty, but carefully orchestrated moments where divine purpose intersected with human malice. Through the betrayal of friends, the hatred of enemies, and ultimately the judgment of God Himself, Jesus transformed instruments of torture into tools of redemption.
The scars that remained became more than mere identifiers – they became eternal testimonies of love’s triumph over evil. As Dr. Lutzer will show, these wounds speak a profound truth: our own suffering, when viewed through the lens of Christ’s sacrifice, can become a source of healing and hope for others.
Join us as we stand at the foot of the cross, listening to these seven statements that bridge heaven and earth, justice and mercy, suffering and glory. For in these words, we find not just the voice of a dying Savior, but the heartbeat of a God whose wounds still speak of victory, whose scars still tell of love, and whose sacrifice still calls us home.
