Kristin Saatzer
"Famous last words are important as they draw our attention to the heart and soul of the speaker. What could be more important at Easter than being drawn into the heart of Jesus through his own words? In this devotional journey to Calvary, you will prepare your heart for Easter by examining the last words of Jesus, as well as his first recorded words in ministry, and crucial ones in between."
I bought this while attending The Well Conference for Christian Creatives last year and have been looking forward to February 18, 2026, through Easter ever since. Saatzer doesn't only focus on the final words of Jesus (i.e., the sayings spoken from the cross), but several key phrases from throughout his earthly ministry. There's a page or so of personal commentary, a quotable quote relevant to her take on what Jesus said, and a couple questions or further Scriptures to think/journal about. Not a bad way to walk through the 40 days leading to Easter at all.
I admit to having a personal shortcoming when it comes to reading plans like this. I seldom slow down and savor any of the thoughts presented. I squeeze in the day's reading so I can feel like I lived up to a commitment. That is solely MY fault, and I am a lesser man for treating this book that way.
First Line: I began the year 2020 with plans to start and finish my second book.
Page 56 / Line 5: One that required a Savior.
A Good Line from Somewhere in the Middle: But the unpredictable Savior did not play the brutish game of bigotry.
Last Line: I thank You for the power of the Holy Spirit living in me and that You will be with me always.
