To God, his Father: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” To all: “I thirst.” To the world: “It is finished.” To God: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”
Luke 23:45b-46: And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 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.
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
In The 3 Keys to the Kingdom: Binding, Loosing, and Knowledge, Mary Garrison imparts the wisdom she's gathered during her years of ministry.
Acts 1:8 states: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” These are the final recorded words of Jesus before He ascended into Heaven – the very last thing He said to His disciples.
Jesus not only uttered the words, “It is finished,” he shouted them. The Apostle John gives us Jesus' last words (John 19:30), but Matthew, Mark and Luke tell us Jesus cried with a loud voice (Matt. 27:50; Mark 15:37 and Luke 23:46). Jesus also said, “Father, into your hands, I commit my spirit” (Luke 23:46).
We often refer to Jesus as Jesus Christ, and some people assume that Christ is Jesus's last name. But Christ is actually a title, not a last name. So if Christ isn't a last name, what was Jesus's last name? The answer is Jesus didn't have a formal last name or surname like we do today.
Jesus' last words to the disciples were recorded in Matt. 28:19-20: “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.
The words hold meaning because they are the last words of Jesus before he died and they show us that Jesus was consistent in his message and mission up until his very last breath. Each of these seven recorded phrases speaks different truths to us as believers.
7. “Father, 'into Your hands I commit My spirit'” (Luke 23:46). Luke records the last of the seven last sayings of Jesus. He who freely gave Himself into the hands of His executioners was now committing Himself into the hands of His Father.
The Word of God is threefold: Jesus Christ is the living Word, the Bible is the written word, and preaching is the spoken word.
Amen concludes the last book of the New Testament, at Rev. 22:21.
Woman, Here Is Your Son
Jesus' Third Word from the cross to this small band of faithful friends huddled below is fascinating for all it implies. First, Jesus addresses his mother not as "Mother," but as "woman," translated appropriately as "dear woman" by the NIV.
The relic of the True Cross was then restored to its place in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Most religious scholars and historians agree with Pope Francis that the historical Jesus principally spoke a Galilean dialect of Aramaic. Through trade, invasions and conquest, the Aramaic language had spread far afield by the 7th century B.C., and would become the lingua franca in much of the Middle East.
I said,"Jenny....that's a great question....and most Bible scholars would say that scripture reveals three times when Jesus cried."
At death his Spirit went to the Father in heaven, and then returned to be clothed in the resurrection body, in which he appeared to the disciples over a period of 40 days before the ascension. The statement in John 20:17 tells us that the ascension of the resurrected Christ had not yet happened.
Jesus and the Father
The “right hand” is seen as a place of honor and status throughout the biblical text. When the Bible makes statements that Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father, it is affirming that he has equal status to the Father within the Godhead (Hebrews 1:3, 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22; Acts 7:55-56).
As the final hours of his earthly mission came upon him, Jesus turned away from the multitudes and sought only to strengthen his disciples. He warned them of what lay ahead. He spoke of Jerusalem's destruction and of the distress and apostasy that would precede his latter-day return to the earth.
Traditionally, Peter is represented holding two keys of equal size, which are explained by the Savior in the gospel of Matthew: “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in ...
With the sounding of the third trumpet, a great star called Wormwood falls to the Earth, poisoning a third of the planet's freshwater sources, such as rivers and springs. Many will die from the bitterness of its taste.
In the Gospel of Matthew 16:19, Jesus says to Peter, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven." Saint Peter is often depicted in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox paintings and other artwork as ...
