Notice that to the words of Psalm 31:5, ‘into your hands I commit my spirit’, Jesus adds the word, Father. Right to the very end Our precious Lord Jesus is still trusting His heavenly Father. And right at the very end Jesus knows that His spirit is safe in the hands of Father God.<br /><br />Yes, after many hours of crucifixion agony, Jesus takes hold of the words of Psalm 31:5 and says, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” What a triumphant Savior, King and Lord!<br />Reine Gnadenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27942026.post-53628372317205119782013-04-19T09:57:18.631-05:002013-04-19T09:57:18.631-05:00For Bill and Rick: German theologian Jurgen Moltm...For Bill and Rick: German theologian Jurgen Moltmann published a book in 1974titled "The Crucified God." Heavy reading, but Moltmann is confronting the theological climate of the post-war years, humanism, and You may try to find the jacket description on Amazon or somewhere--good stuff. "Moltmann unveils a naked cross, unrespectable, even "irreligious," shorn of the roses of religious tradition..."<br />VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27942026.post-13026665128861574452013-04-19T06:07:02.162-05:002013-04-19T06:07:02.162-05:00Bill - Thank you for your comments.

Thank you for the post. It is needed...Brother Rick,<br />Thank you for the post. It is needed to wake us up once in awhile. I did have one comment/question on why you would say, "God died"? When I and my wife read this, I got an uncomfortable feeling in my spirit. I don't feel like you ment it in the vein of "Jesus died Spiritually" like the Copeland's believe, but it did not sit well with us. Could you explain what you were meaning when you wrote that statement?<br />Thank you and God Bless!<br /><br />brother BillBill Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762574175505410807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27942026.post-56867134712460594502013-04-19T05:48:26.942-05:002013-04-19T05:48:26.942-05:00Brother Rick,
I have a question about your comment...Brother Rick,<br />I have a question about your comment "God died". Why would you say that since God is life and cannot die? I personally wondered why you said that and my wife said she had a problem with the comment. I know that you are a brother in Christ and I just wanted to here what you were thinking on that statement. I would appreciate your response. Have a blessed day!Bill Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762574175505410807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27942026.post-52351362946651934422013-04-17T19:43:45.751-05:002013-04-17T19:43:45.751-05:00it took me all day to finish reading this post bec...it took me all day to finish reading this post because I could not stand the pain and even now between the sobs I am not rejoicing, but broken and convicted, and sad and amazed. It is beyond comprehension and I feel like I have to do something to say thank you or make it up to Him somehow and at the same time my heart breaks for those, including my own children who can reject what Jesus did for them, for me, for all.<br /><br />Broken, so very broken. I have to stop writing. Sorry<br /><br />Cherie c.Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27942026.post-58615550808773622702013-04-17T15:39:57.557-05:002013-04-17T15:39:57.557-05:00Bravo Brother! Great job!
