Before the Cross: The Words Jesus speaks to you

Before the cross, there were conversations. These were moments when Jesus locked eyes with a woman and spoke words that changed everything—words that gave life and confirmed her worth. He did not give speeches or lengthy sermons. He spoke personal words that were beautifully intentional, revealed love and light, and reassurance. The way Jesus spoke to these women reveals the kind of Savior he is for me and you.

If you feel distracted, tired, or unsure how to draw close to Jesus as Easter approaches, this is for you. In the noise of life, sometimes we don’t need one more obligation—we simply need to hear his voice again.

Each Friday as we walk toward Easter, we’re going to spend a moment listening to the words Jesus spoke. We’ll linger in those encounters where he met with women who were overlooked, dismissed, grieving, ashamed, hopeful, searching. And we’ll pay attention to what he said because it helps us understand who he is and what he says to us. We’ll approach Easter and the cross knowing his words give life and worth to us, too.
