The 7 Last Words of Christ With Jim Caviezelනියැදිය

The Seventh Word - Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.

Sr. Marie Veritas, SV points to the magnitude of Jesus’ final words, and the symbolism they offer:

“What does Jesus say with his last words that he has on earth to us? What does he do? He points us to the Father. He throws himself into the arms of the Father. And then he lets go.”

In both Jesus’ final word from the cross: “Father, into your hands, I commend my spirit,” and his words to the Father on the Mount of Olives “not my will but yours be done”, we witness Jesus’s abandonment and surrender to the will of God.

In the sixth word, Jesus triumphs. Now he enters into heaven, received by his Father, who lovingly welcomes us all into His kingdom.

Jesus points us to the Father so we too can throw ourselves into His arms, surrendering to Him, knowing He loves us and will not lead us astray.

When we place ourselves in God’s arms, we’ll share in the joy Jesus felt upon his reunion with the Father.
