April 1, 2009 Waskom, TX: The Seven Last Words of Christ
On Good Friday, April 10, 2009 at 6:00 PM Pastor Ed Bowman invites Christians to come and hear again the seven last words of Christ reflecting upon what Jesus said while suffering on that Roman gibbet for the sins of His people.
"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." Jesus said and then he did just that, voluntarily dying in the place of his friends in all ages who would dare trust in Him by faith alone.
The Apostle Paul noted in Romans 5:7-8 that "...one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." That demonstration of love is certainly understood in what Christ uttered while on the cross.
The Seven Last Words of Christ worship service will begin at First Presbyterian Church at 315 West Texas Avenue (US 80) at 6:00 PM. The public is invited. On that day some two-thousand years ago morning broke and a new day dawned - a day of incredible hope was here.
