05 The Words of Christ
In the fifth session of the ‘Discovering The Cross’ series, Mervis Van Der Merwe spends some time meditating on the final words spoken by Christ on the cross, ‘I thirst’ and ‘It is finished!’ (John 19:25-30, NKJV). He further expounds on how Christ’s love was revealed on the cross and what His death means for us today.
Mervis is a saint within Joshua Generation Church, South Africa. He is married to Sonja and they have three children. He has degrees in ministry and psychology and can often be found seeking and blessing the Father’s heart through his gift of music.
