Christ’s Last Words?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who recall the last words Christ said when he was on the cross. In Jesus’ name, amen.
When David wrote Psalm 31:3-5 he was inspired by God. Generations later, David’s words would be quoted by Christ on Calvary.
“For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your name’s sake you lead me and guide me;
you take me out of the net they have hidden for me,
for you are my refuge.
Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.”
In Luke 23:46 Jesus is on the cross.
“Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said,
‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!’ And having said this he breathed his last.”
The finality of this event seems to be the end of the story. Yet, believers know there is more. Christ is resurrected and appears to the disciples and hundreds of others.
Believers often say to each other on Easter, “He is risen.”
Others respond, “He is risen, indeed.”
