Day 23
Luke 23:46-47
And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, Into Your Hands I commit My Spirit." Having said this, He breathed His last.
How do Jesus' words, "today you will be in Paradise with me," show His authority? Why do you think He acted so graciously?
Think about Jesus' last words, "Father! In your hands I place my spirit!" What does this teach us about how we should die?
Thank You, Father, for Jesus. Thank You that He came and lived the perfect life, and that He was willing to die a horrible death as a sacrifice for sinners. I know He is innocent, and I confess I am guilty. I know salvation is only possible because of His pure sacrifice on my behalf, and I choose to put my trust in that sacrifice. I'm so grateful that because of Jesus, I can be considered righteous before You.
In Jesus' name, amen,
