On Good Friday afternoons at my church, parishioners are invited to come and give testimonials that springboard from the last words of Jesus. I feel blessed and grateful to have been invited to speak three times. My personal testimonies are linked below:
Good Friday 2005 – My Testimonial
Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, ‘Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.’ Having said this, he breathed his last. Luke 23.46
Good Friday 2012 – A Working Mom’s Testimony
Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, here is your son.’ Then he said to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home. John 19:25b-27
Good Friday 2016 – Thirsty
After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfil the scripture), ‘I am thirsty.’ A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. John 19:28-29
