In The Seven Sayings of the Savior on the Cross, A.W. Pink clearly illustrates the lessons that emerge out of the seven utterances of Christ on the cross, filling the reader with the glory of the redemptive message. Pink uses one chapter, for each of the seven things Jesus said while dying: the word of Forgiveness (Luke 23:34), the word of Salvation (Luke 23:42- 43), the word of Affection (John 19:25-27), the word of Anguish (Matthew 27:46), the word of Suffering (John 19:28), the word of Victory (John 19:30) and the word of Contentment (Luke 23:46). Each of the seven chapters is then broken down into seven profound insights on what Jesus said, why he said it, and the far-reaching implications for us who hear it.
ARTHUR W. PINK (April 1, 1886 – July 15, 1952) was an English Bible teacher and Pastor, who sparked a renewed interest in the exposition of scripture. Little known in his own lifetime, Pink became one of the most influential evangelical authors in the second half of the twentieth century. A. W. Pink was a pastor of churches in the United States and Australia before he finally returned to his homeland in 1934. There he died almost unnoticed in 1952. By that date, however, his magazine was feeding several of the men who were leading a return to doctrinal Christianity, including Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Douglas Johnson (founder of Inter-Varsity) and, in book form after his death, his writing became very widely read across the world.
