The Seventh Word - Luke 23:44-46

Speaker - Jonathan Thomas

It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.  - Luke 23:44-46

The Rev. Jonathan Thomas serves as Co-Rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Peoria. He received his M.Div. degree from Princeton Theological Seminary, where he first met his wife, Jenny. After getting married they looked for a church they could serve together as priests and found the wonderful congregation of St. Paul's to be the sort of place willing to try something new. He previously served on the staff in churches in Virginia, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
