Narration 5
Narrator 1: Led to a place called Calvary, which means "The Place
of the Skull," Jesus was nailed to a cross, and then
placed between two criminals to bear the shame and
agony of a public death.
Narrator 2: His accusers hurled insults at Him even in these, His
final hours: "Come down from the cross, if You are
the Son of God." "He saved others, but He can't save
Himself!" "Let God rescue Him now if He wants Him."
Narrator 1: Even in these final moments, Jesus reflected the
prevailing characteristic of His life – love for others – as
He prayed for His accusers: "Father, forgive them, for
they know not what they do."
Narrator 2: He even offered forgiveness to one of the criminals who
died alongside of Him: "Today you will be with me in
paradise."
Narrator 1: Finally, Jesus called out: "It is finished!" (pause) And
then He died.
