Dedicated To The Men of God
Who Preach the Word of God As It Is To Men As They Are
"Preach The Word"
SERIES: WORDS FROM THE CROSS
SUBJECT: The Word of Confidence
READING: Luke 23:46-49
TEXT: "...Father, into thy hands I commend My spirit..." (23:46).
Introduction:
As we examine this final utterance of our Lord we find that it is concerned mainly with the affirmation of His Sonship; for if Jesus Christ is not the Son of God then there is no revelation of the love of God and no atonement for sin. Here is affirmed:
I. Christ's Confidence in the Security of His Sonship (23:46)
1) The Revelation of the Essence of Sonship (23:46)
2) The Restoration of the Enjoyment of Sonship(23:46)
II. Christ's Confidence in the Dependency of His Sonship (23:46)
1) In Life He Was Completely Dependent Upon His Father (Ps. 31:5)
2) In Death He Was Completely Dependent Upon His Father (23:46)
III. Christ's Confidence in the Authority of His Sonship (23:46)
1) On Calvary's Cross Jesus Ordered Death (23:46)
2) On Calvary's Cross Jesus Overcame Death (23:46)
Conclusion
May we likewise have such confidence, day by day, as we commit spirit, soul and body into the Father's hands.
May we ever live in the center of His will, walking in the pathway of His choice, serving in the interests of His work-in life, and even in death.
