JESUS LAST WORDS ON THE CROSS
The seven last words of Jesus on the cross demonstrate both his humanity and his divinity, and capture the last moment Jesus went through to gain our forgiveness.
1. Father forgive them, for they know not what they do:
(Luke 23:34)
Forgiveness for those who arrested condemned and executed Jesus
but also forgiveness those who drove the nails into the hands of Jesus, and those who mocked him.

He just heard Jesus asking God to forgive the peoplethe thief hears about forgiveness straight from Jesus. So the thief says this man is innocent. He defends Jesus, while no one else does! He knows he's close to death
so he asks Jesus remember me when you come to your kingdom

This shows it is never too late to turn to Christ. Even in His (Jesus) misery, he had mercy on this criminal
Parallel verse: Hebrew 8:12 "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more"
3. Woman behold your son!
Behold your mother!:
