“INTO YOUR HANDS-I commend MY SPIRIT” Psalm 31:6
In the PASSION of Luke-we HEAR those same words-just BEFORE Jesus dies-Did you ever REALIZE that Jesus' words were from psalm 31:6-the very first of its two lines-I didn't UNTIL RECENTLY
The NEXT words of the psalm are:
“YOU will REDEEM ME-O Lord-O FAITHFUL GOD”
Jesus KNEW the old testament scripture INSIDE and out-HE KNEW exactly what he was doing-HIS PRAYER was MORE than resigned surrender-he knew he was REDEEMING THIS WORLD-and he knew NEW LIFE-through HIS RESURRECTION was just ahead
THIS LENT as we suffer though his death-and our sins slowly die-may a BRAND NEW YOU/and NEW LIFE RISE in Christ's RESURRECTION this Easter and beyond
FAITHFUL GOD-we know that your REDEEMING LOVE is right around the corner in OUR LIVES
it is a GREAT to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for US and a GREAT DAY to realize HOW MUCH GOD
loves the people of this world-”FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD........”
“God So Loved the World”
God so loved
The world
That he gave us
His one and only Son
How much love
Do you have
For God
For your neighbor
Can you imagine
How much love
How much love
That took
Can you imagine
Giving up your child
For someone else
How God’s heart
Must have broke
As Jesus was rejected
And hung dying on the cross
God so loved
The world
That he gave us
His only begotten Son
How much love
Do you have
Accept God—Accept Christ
Into your hearts

in him shall not perish-but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son to condemn the
world-but to SAVE the world through him." John 3:16-17
