What were Jesus' last Words?

by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills



The last words of a man are probably the most important words that he will ever speak.

Some years ago, I read about an aircraft that developed a serious problem. As it flew over some mountains, the pilot informed everyone on board that they were going to crash; indeed they crashed and everyone on board was killed.

It seemed as if they had about ten or fifteen minutes before they eventually crashed. Many of the passengers wrote notes and messages to their loved ones while they could.

I will never forget that scene in my mind's eye. I couldn't help but wonder what those last messages and notes contained. Anyone who knows he's going away forever would probably give a very important message as his last word.

So what were Jesus' last words? Did Jesus say, "Go and make people rich"? Did He say, " Go and take the reins of political power"? He did not!

He said the Church should go out and preach the Gospel in as many countries as possible. He told us to travel far and wide with the good news of the Kingdom.
