THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST
When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified Him, along with the criminals—one on His right, the other on His left. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up His clothes by casting lots. The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at Him. They said, "He saved others; let Him save himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One." The soldiers also came up and mocked Him. They offered Him wine vinegar and said, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself." There was a written notice above Him, which read:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at Him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!" But the other criminal rebuked Him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong." Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."
It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit." When He had said this, He breathed his last.

Thank you for joining me for Word-Filled Wednesday. I hope you'll take a couple minutes to listen to the video above by Sandi Patty. It is simply amazing and you will definitely need a Kleenex. :0)

Powerful! I saw Sandi Patti in concert a long time ago...I can't remember if she was in concert with Evie or the Gaithers...she was great! Praying you stay healthy for spring break. Ours is next week too!
That song by Sandi Patti has always been one of my favorites!
I LOVE seeing someone posting a WORD filled Wendesday instead of the common "wordless Wedensdays" so often themed on blogs!!!
I Love Sandi Patty and this song is a fave of mine. Reading your post I also thought of the old one by Ray Boltz...Watch The Lamb! That's another good tear jerker!
:-) Blessings!
A beautifully touching song. She is very gifted. Thank you for sharing Teresa :)
The Easter story is such a powerful one. It always gives me chills to read it.
What a strong pic of the cross and thorns!
Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed Easter lady!
That is one of my very favorite songs of hers. I have had it memorized for about 20+ years (even the Spanish part) and love to sing it year round.
"The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men made its way to the heart of Jerusalem..."
What a truly wonderful WFW! Have a blessed Easter!
What a powerful song & picture!
I hope you have a Happy Easter:)
Celebrating the resurrection of my Jesus is my favorite holiday celebration. And you can't celebrate without remembering what He went through on the cross and what He accomplished while He was there. Then He finished His work of purchasing salvation for us when He arose from the grave and conquered sin and its power over all of our lives when we put our faith in Him. What love He revealed to us! Only Love could have stayed true to the end and accomplished the work of the cross. Love the Sandi Patty song! It is beautiful!
Beautiful....hope you have a wonderful Easter!
