We’ve all heard the expression, “famous last words,” but how many of us have ever studied Jesus last words?

When I told a friend I was teaching a sermon on these verses they couldn’t believe I could do it with only three verses - -

If you’ve ever had the opportunity to be with someone who’s life is about to pass, you know last words can be significant.

I’ve been with those close to me and they shared with me that they are ready to meet the Lord, wishing they had more time with loved ones, asking for blessing over their wife and children.

I’ve also been with those whose lives are full of despair and they finished their race without much hope or the belief that it’s just over - there isn’t anything else ahead.

Our last words reveal a lot about our life. Are we filled with Hope & Assurance or Fear & Despair?

When we look at our Lord Jesus’ last words we witness the completion of His greatest work on earth while also enduring His greatest work for eternity.

What He knew from the Cross shows His deity - - what He said shows His humanity!
• During His 6 hours on the Cross He spoke 3x over the first 3 hours - aimed at others.

#1. Luke 23:34; “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”

#2. Luke 23:43; “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

#3. John 19:26; When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”

He knew that those last 3 hours of darkness on the cross that His Father would transfer the sin of the world onto Him.

What was that scene like…
• Darkness, Separation from God, Burning thirst

Sounds like Hell - - yet Jesus took it for us so you might experience life.

#4. Matthew 27:46; “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

John 19:28-30

I. WHAT JESUS SAID

What was accomplished?
• His mission on earth
• John said in chapter 1; “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
• His mission was to come to die and carry the sin of the world on Him.

Matthew 20:28; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

A. I Am Thirsty

Why was this significant for the writer, John, to record it?
• Was it only to show His human side?
• Human: a plot, unlawful, hateful yet carried out
• Divine: God arranged it all - nothing by chance

Acts 2:23; this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.

John wrote “so the scriptures could be fulfilled.” Remember, Jesus didn’t say this, but John wrote it. - - - WHY?

So that everything in the OT could be fulfilled.

Jesus may not have had a drink for some 18 hours; since the last supper…
• He was in the Garden of Gethsemane where His sweat was described as blood.
