“FATHER INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT”

Adrian Rogers said that the only man made thing in heaven will be the scars in the hands, feet, and side of Jesus.  What better way to die than in the perfect hands of the Father and now for us, in Jesus.


The mouth that spoke as never a mere man spoke became silent. The heart that never beat except in love was stilled. JESUS DIED! But as we read in the Scriptures a moment ago, before He did in His seventh saying from the cross, He committed His spirit to God for safe-keeping. Now, was Jesus merely whistling in the dark? I mean, did it do any good for Him to say, “Father into THY hands I commit My Spirit.”

Well, the Resurrection gives us the answer. Because on the 3rd day, God raised Him Who was truly and really dead and now He lives forever and He offers us eternal life as well. So you see, because of the cross, death no longer terrifies us. Now we know that for Christians death is just a gateway to heaven.
