Why does Jesus call Himself The Son of Man? What does this tell us about Him? As it says in John 1:2, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Jesus is fully God and fully human. He is Emmanuel, “God with Us.” Jesus, Yeshua, “The Lord is Salvation.” He humbled Himself to become a man, born of a virgin, relatable, went through the sufferings and temptations that we go through, and He died for our sins, paid the price, and rose again to sit at the right hand of God the Father.

It is not too late to be forgiven. The thief on the cross asked Jesus for forgiveness hours before his death and He granted it. He realized his sin, confessed it before God, and repented.

The question is which thief do you want to be?
Words on the Cross
The cross. The crucifixion. Jesus. His love. His sacrifice. His humility. God’s Will. Salvation for all. Jesus went through a horrible death for you and me. He suffered. He was beaten. He was tortured. He was betrayed. He was forsaken. He wasn’t killed; He gave His life. It was God’s plan. This would redeem us. It would save us from our sins. We would be declared righteous by His blood, by His sacrifice, by His love and forgiveness. Because of this, we can have eternal life if we believe and trust in Him.
Every event and every word that He spoke on this dark day would have significance. It would teach us something. It would reveal something about Him. The gospels record seven phrases that Jesus spoke on the cross. For the next few posts we will discuss the words and events during the Crucifixion. Feel free to add comments on what these words and events mean to you.
