SEVEN UTTERANCES: LUKE 23:46

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Seven Utterances 

a) The Seven Utterances of Jesus, while he was dying on the cross, have been a subject of meditation for all Christians. 

b) Here is one of the utterances.

2. “Father, Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit” 

Luke 23:46
46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Having said this, He breathed His last.

a) In this utterance we see the submission of Jesus. Jesus "humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross" (Philippians 2:8).

b) Now with one last cry, he yields up his spirit to his Father, bows his head, breathes his last, and dies — in total submission he has committed himself body and spirit to God. Such surrender! Is it too much for him to ask that we surrender ourselves wholly to him?


The End ...
