THE LAST SEVEN WORDS OF CHRIST
WORD 2: SALVATION
Amidst agony on Calvary, Jesus promises Paradise to a condemned thief, illustrating profound grace. This stark contrast between the desolate crucifixion scene and the promise of lush Paradise underscores the transformative power of faith and forgiveness, challenging perceptions of worthiness and revealing Jesus' authority to offer eternal hope.
