Luke 23: 46
And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit. And having said this, He breathed His last.
Jesus quoted Psalm 31:5, written by David so long ago.
To think that God planned all this in His Triune Councils before He even created, and He made us, anyway!
God's ways are so far above our ways. His Love for us, for me, is the reason Jesus agreed to this course, knowing how frail and sinful and rebellious we are.
Yet the Father still sent His Son; Jesus did come; He showed us what God is like, Who He is; then willingly laid down His life as the Sacrificial Lamb, to actually take away our sins!
To free us from the bondage of sinful addictions and bad habits; to cleanse us and mold and shape us into the very image of His Son, as He originally intended at our Creation.
And the worst thing that ever happened in the whole history of Time--the killing of God by His creature--God intended for the greatest good we could ever imagine, to the glory of His Name!
And His Resurrection is our proof of the Truth and efficacy of His death accepted by the Father.
O my Father, Thank You!
It's Friday, but Sunday's coming!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
