Seven Peoria-area pastors from various faith traditions worked together to create a Holy Week podcast series of reflections on the seven last words of Christ. One will be released each day from Palm Sunday through Holy Saturday. We hope you use these to live more fully into the passion of Jesus and be reminded that Christ walks with us through all trials and dark days of our lives. A short bio of each speaker is included. A special thanks to Dr. Jon Giblin for the organ setting of “Were You There” that accompanies the podcast.
The Third Word – John 19:26, 27
When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,”and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
