The Seven Next Words of Christ

by Shane Stanford

Details the conversations and encounters of Jesus following the Resurrection. Like the more familiar Seven Last Words, these words or conversations provide insight into the heart and mind of Jesus as he encouraged, prepared, and deployed the disciples for ministry to the world through seven powerful encounters. The Seven Next Words are arranged in the order they appear in the Bible. The "words" are taken from the post-resurrection texts of the four Gospels and the Book of Acts. The style of the book is narrative, building on a subtle point and parable model rather than outline form. Therefore a person can read this alone.

It is interesting to think about the seven last encounters of Christ after the resurrection. They have a message, and it is Christ's final message. Shane Stanford takes us through those short conversations and brings modern examples into the discussion. it gave me something to think about, especially knowing that these words might be of huge importance. I have received more from other religious study books, but I'm glad I read this.

I used the basic rubric of this book for the last 7 weeks as a sermon series in my church.

Although I didn't use much of the content I did use the "7 Next words" as presented by Stanford and used the discussion guide somewhat in my bible study classes.

The book was convicting and will help me go through my daily walk with God on a more personal level.
