The Seven Next Words of Christ

Paperback |English |068749821X | 9780687498215
Overview

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. A Leader's Guide is included for group study.

The nine proposed chapters are:
I - Introduction
II - Discussion of the Seven Last Words and a precursor to the post-Resurrection encounters
III - The First Word: "Who are you looking for ?" - encounter with Mary
John 20:1-18

IV - The Second Word: "Greetings...Don't be afraid."
Matthew 28:8-10
IV - The Third Word: "What are you so concerned about?" - The road to Emmaus
Luke 24:13-34
VI - The Fourth Word: "Peace be with you"
Luke 24:35-43, John 20:19-29
VII - The Fifth Word: "Go into the world" - Make Disciples - Preach the good news
Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-18, Luke 24:44-49
VIII - The Sixth Word: "Have you caught any fish?" - Great catch and feed my sheep encounters
John 21:1-23
IX - The Seventh Word: "Wait for the gift" - The Ascension
ACTS 1:1-11

Includes Study Guide We often hear about the Seven Last Words of Christ. Rarely, though, do we focus in the same way on what Christ said after the Resurrection as he surprised, consoled, rebuked, and inspired his followers through seven powerful encounters--what Shane Stanford calls the Seven Next Words of Christ. "In a warm and intimate way the author uses stories from his own life and experience to make the continuing power of Christ more real and accessible to any earnest believer." -J. Ellsworth Kalas, author of Parables from the Back Side "Shane Stanford demonstrates that the 'seven next words of Christ' are not just ancient sayings but living words. This book left me listening for the next words the risen Christ would speak to me." -Michael E. Williams, editor of The Storyteller's Companion to the Bible "Shane Stanford breathes life into the Easter faith with his lively exploration of the 'Seven Next Words' of Christ, words full of resurrection surprise and vitality that will reinvigorate your faith that 'Christ is Risen, he has risen indeed.'" -William H. Willimon, author of Sinning Like a Christian
