Understanding Jesus in His multifaceted roles—as the disciples’ leader, Mary’s son, and our Friend, Savior, and Lord—can sometimes be challenging. Jesus was not only a divine figure but also a person who lived a human life. He grew up in a family, gathered a close group of followers, and experienced the full range of human emotions, especially as He faced the end of His earthly life.

The last words spoken by someone at the end of their life are often deeply significant, poignant, and revealing. Such words are shared to provide comfort and guidance to loved ones who remain. Jesus did precisely this for His disciples. As we delve into the words He shared with them, it becomes evident that He was not only preparing them for the immediate future but also equipping us to continue His mission in our time.

Through this journey into Jesus’ final teachings, you will discover the depth of His love and the intentionality with which He prepared His followers. May you, too, be drawn to the heart of Jesus as He speaks from His heart to yours, offering wisdom, comfort, and a call to action that transcends generations.
