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 fifth message of Seven Awesome Statements from the Cross, Dr. Michael Youssef points to Jesus’ cry, “I am thirsty.” The One who created the oceans, rivers, and streams willingly suffered real human agony on the cross. Scripture was fulfilled, and the sinless Son of God showed both His humanity and His perfect submission to the Father. His thirst reminds every sinner that Christ hears those who cry to Him for salvation. It also warns believers to reject the empty waters of sin and thirst for the living God. Because Christ suffered for us, we must repent, intercede, and proclaim His saving Gospel.
