Luke 23:33-34
Jesus hung on the cross for six agonizing hours before succumbing to the torture of crucifixion through asphyxiation. During that time, Jesus made seven statements on the cross recorded in the four gospels of the New Testament. Each of these statements is significant and worthy of every drop of your mental power.
''Mic Drop'' is a term where a performer drops the microphone at the end of a performance. When someone literally drops the microphone, it's an expression of triumph. For many, the term ''Mic drop'' is known and even passe at this point. Yet, for others, the term ''mic drop'' is new to your ears. To drop the mic signifies a decisive moment, a crescendo, if you will. Nothing is left to be said on the matter. Presidents, performers, and even princes have dropped the mic at significant moments in their personal lives.
But surely, no one drops the mic like Jesus. Surely, at the end of time, Jesus is alone with have the microphone that matters. He will have the last word. In fact, Jesus' entire life is God's ultimate mic drop. God the Father told the Disciples on the Mount of Transfiguration when His voice came out of the cloud, ''This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him'' (Luke 9:35b)! And while the entire life of Jesus is noteworthy, the seven last words of Jesus are among the most noteworthy.
