Into Your Hands, I Commit My Life (5 of 5)

Luke 23:44-49
Happy Easter Sunday to everyone! Happy resurrection day to you all. Welcome to Easter Sunday including those of you online.
Why is Easter a Big Deal? Easter is a time when God's people celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As much as you may admire Abraham Lincoln, your parents, or MLK, JR., there are not even two people who gather every Sunday to celebrate him.

In the moments to come, I hope to show you why so many of us worship Jesus Christ.
I invite you to turn to Luke 23 with me. If you didn't bring a copy of God's Word, turn to page 1051 in the Black Pew Bibles in front of you. Jesus hung on the cross for six agonizing hours before succumbing to the torture of crucifixion through asphyxiation. During that time, Jesus made seven statements on the cross that were recorded in the four gospels of the New Testament. These are famous last words.
Communication Card
At the end of today's message, I will invite you to commit your life to Jesus Christ. I want everyone to have the ''Communication Card'' near you. You'll find one in the pew in front of you. Please keep that handy. I'll share with you some instructions about this a little later in the service. Today we hear the very last recorded words of Jesus while on the cross.
Today's Scripture
''It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 while the sun's light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!' And having said this he breathed his last. 47 Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, 'Certainly this man was innocent!' 48 And ...
