While hanging from the cross, the Lord Jesus Christ spoke seven awesome statements that reveal the fullness of His heart, His mission, and His finished work of redemption. In Seven Awesome Statements from the Cross, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims the uncompromising Truth of Calvary: Christ forgives repentant sinners, assures His people of salvation, cares for His own, bears the judgment of sin, thirsts in full humanity, entrusts Himself to the Father, and declares the work of salvation complete. These words call every sinner to repentance and every believer to deeper trust, faithful obedience, fervent intercession, and bold Gospel proclamation to the ends of the earth.

In this second message of Seven Awesome Statements from the Cross, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims the sure hope Jesus gave to the repentant criminal: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” Salvation is not earned by good works, religious effort, or human worthiness. It is promised by the sinless Son of God, who alone has authority to forgive and save. One criminal rejected Christ and faced judgment; the other confessed his guilt, trusted the King, and received mercy. Scripture leaves no room for false hope. Every sinner must repent and cry to Jesus for mercy, and every believer must intercede for the lost with urgency.
