    About this ebook

    What better way to celebrate Easter
    than to receive forgiveness
    and experience God's grace in your life?

    We all have them. Burdens of guilt and shame we carry around. We're weighed down, constantly reminded of where we've fallen short.

    But the truth is we're carrying around something that isn't ours. Our sins and shortcomings belong to Jesus. He carried them to the cross. He paid our debt. And he wanted to make sure we knew it.

    In this book you'll discover the seven last sayings of Christ from the cross--both what he said and what his words mean for your life today.

    So get ready to lay your burdens down at the foot of the cross and receive God's unsurpassable grace.

      Introduction

      Many of us grew up in church observing the season of Lent leading up to Easter. The tradition of Lent was not established in Scripture.
