Bible message preached by Pastor Gregg Bing at Grace Bible Church, September 27, 2020, entitled: "Father, Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit" (Luke 23:46).
Nearing the time of His death, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "It is finished!" Having completed the work the Father had given Him to do, bearing the penalty for our sins on that cross, it was time for Jesus to enter into His rest. So, bowing His head, He gave up His spirit, saying, "Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit," and He breathed His last breath. In this morning's message, we examine the significance of this final statement Jesus made from the cross. We also consider: What happened to Jesus in death? Where did He go for the three days and nights before His resurrection?
