"Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit"

Message by Pastor Jeff Tucker

With one final declaration, Jesus announces that His work is complete. This sermon speaks directly to the weary, the striving, and the exhausted. Salvation is not something we complete or improve. It is something Jesus has finished for us. There is nothing left to earn and nothing left to prove. Faith rests in what Christ has done, trusting that His work is enough.


Scripture: Luke 23:44–49
It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” When He had said this, He breathed His last. The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away. But all those who knew Him, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
