In this sermon on Resurrection Sunday we continue our series looking at the seven things Jesus says from the cross before he dies. We look at the seventh and last thing where in death he entrusts himself to the Father. We consider this through the lens of breath in the Scripture, particulalry in light of Jesus giving is spirit to them after the resurrection in John 20.

Are you struggling with forgiving someone? In our podcast today, we talk about the incredible irony of man's first breath, Jesus' last breath, and how refusing to forgive someone is like trying to hold our breath. Stephen Mizell is joined on the podcast today by Jay Rivenbark and Sharon Schwartz, and we are looking at Luke 23:44-46.

On today's podcast, Pastor Cameron completes our Easter series by looking at the 7th statement of Jesus on the cross. He committed His Spirit to His Father, in assurance that His mission was complete and man had been reconciled to God!
Luke 23 - Jason Martin by Somerville St Church of Christ
In this week's podcast, Pastor Mike Moses expounds on the power of the cross of Christ, the revelation of the Scriptures, and the joy of salvation.
Audio from 04.23.25 LSM Mid-Week Student Worship service. The title of this message is "Jesus On Th Cross" from Luke 23:32-49. This is the second sermon of the three part sermon series titled "The Road to Golgotha: Walking With Jesus From Surrender to Victory!" The main idea of this message is that on the cross, Jesus reveals the depth of His love through prayer, mercy, and grace--offering hope to all who believe.
Do You Recognize Jesus? Luke 23:42-43 42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." 43Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
In Luke 23:46 we see that by his death, Jesus provided salvation for those who entrust their soul to Him.
His Kingdom Was Just Beginning Luke 23:38 38There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.
23:50 Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid. 54 It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning. 55 The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. 56Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments.On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. 24:1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” 8 And they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, 11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened. Sermon Questions: 1. Where do you see a Good Friday Mentality at work in your heart?2. What are 'the things' you usually cling to?3. Have you ever, like Peter, marveled at the resurreciton? if so, when?4. How is the resurrection bringing value/significance to every aspect of life comforting to you?5. How does it bring you security today?
Jesus said, "Father, forgive them." while He was suffering on a cross, dying for the people who rejected and crucified Him. Good Friday is the day we gather to remember Jesus' death for us. We take time to confess our sins and nail them to the cross. Jesus paid for all our sin and gives us forgiveness. Thank you Jesus!

So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
Good Friday is the darkest and most solemn day on the Christian calendar. Yet, because of Jesus’s sacrifice—a sacrifice that changes everything—it truly becomes good. In this Scripture meditation, we step into the scene at the cross, where Jesus is crucified between two criminals. We witness the reactions of those around Him—the mocking soldiers, the mourning crowd, the two criminals beside Him. And in the midst of it all, we hear Jesus’s powerful words of grace and forgiveness: "Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing." Even in His suffering, Jesus extends mercy. Through this Good Friday meditation, you’ll be invited to: Enter the scene and observe those around the cross. Reflect on the words and actions of Jesus. Sit at the foot of the cross and thank Him for what He endured for you. Take a moment to pause, reflect, and let the weight of this day settle in.

When they came to a place called The Skull, they nailed him to the cross. And the criminals were also crucified—one on his right and one on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice. The crowd watched and the leaders scoffed. “He saved others,” they said, “let him save himself if he is really God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.” The soldiers mocked him, too, by offering him a drink of sour wine. They called out to him, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” A sign was fastened above him with these words: “This is the King of the Jews.” One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed, “So you’re the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself—and us, too, while you’re at it!” But the other criminal protested, “Don’t you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die? We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasn’t done anything wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

“Then Jesus shouted, ‘Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!’ And with those words he breathed his last.” (Luke 23:46 NLT) Today we are going to discover the most painful moment in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. What do you think it was? Perhaps your mind races to the crucifixion itself. You think of the spikes being driven into His hands and feet. As painful and horrific as that was, I don’t believe that was His most painful moment. Perhaps you think of the scourging that took place prior to the crucifixion. The Roman whip literally tore Jesus’ back open, exposing his vital organs. As horrible as that was, I don’t believe it was His most painful moment. Perhaps you think of how all His disciples, with the exception of one, deserted Him in His hour of need. As horrible and painful as that must have been, I don’t believe that it was His most painful moment. I believe Jesus’ most painful moment is captured in His words in Matthew 27:46. Jesus uttered seven statements while He hung on the cross. Each one gives us insight into what He was experiencing, fulfilling, and accomplishing as He paid the ultimate price for our sin. The first reveals the depth of His suffering. “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” (Matthew 27:46 NLT). The intimacy that Jesus shared with His heavenly Father in the Garden of Gethsemane just a few hours earlier was gone. In its place was the wrath of the holy God. Jesus used the words of Psalm 22:1 to express His agony as He faced that wrath alone. God turned away from Jesus as He endured the punishment for the sins of the world. That spiritual abandonment was far more devastating than the physical pain Jesus experienced. “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34 NLT). Jesus’ enemies believed they were getting rid of a false messiah. They didn’t realize they were crucifying the Son of God, who was giving His life to save them. Jesus’ compassion on those who mocked and tortured Him is an amazing example of divine grace. “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43 NLT). This is the work of salvation. One of the revolutionaries who was being crucified next to Him said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” He placed His faith in Jesus. In reply, Jesus assured him that he would be with Him in Heaven the moment he died. “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” (Luke 23:46 NLT). Jesus presented Himself to God as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. He was ready to give up His life to complete the work of salvation. “Dear woman, here is your son”; “Here is your mother” (John 19:26–27 (NLT). Here’s another example of Jesus placing the needs of others above His own, even as He endured the agony of the cross. Jesus saw His mother in the crowd and wanted to make sure that she would be cared for. He entrusted her care to His beloved disciple John. “I am thirsty” (John 19:28 NLT). Jesus wasn’t trying to get His physical needs met. He was fulfilling the prophecy of Psalm 69:21: “They offer me sour wine for my thirst” (NLT). He said He was thirsty so that the Roman guards would give Him sour wine (vinegar). Jesus made one final statement from the cross. That will be the focus of our devotion tomorrow. Even in death, Jesus’ words are life-giving. His final utterances from the cross completed God’s work of salvation. They point us to eternal life, and they show us how to live this life abundantly by prioritizing God’s will. Reflection question: What do Jesus’ final words reveal about Him, His work, and His priorities?

Join Pastor Cameron as we look at the second of Jesus' statements on the cross - His assurance to the repentant thief that He would be forgiven and accepted into heaven. On the cross, Jesus offered redemption to the thief, and the same redemption is available to all of us today.
In this episode, we move into Week 6 of Lent, Palm Sunday. As a part of this, we look at a number of different passages Luke 22:33-34, 23:39-43; John 19:25-27; Matthew 27:45-46; John 19:28-30; Luke 23:44-46, all relating to Jesus' last words. Together we discuss the seven final sayings of Jesus and they paint a clear picture of the Kingdom of Heaven. At the core of it all is an example of, and invitation to, a deeper trust and dependence on Him.
23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron continues discussing Jesus' first statement on the cross. We were all responsible for Jesus going to the cross, and His forgiveness of us empowers us to forgive others as well.
Today’s Bible Verse: “The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.” - Luke 23:35

He and Herod both question Jesus and find no guilt in Him. Pilate seeks to release Jesus, but the jealousy of the Jewish people is unrelenting. Pilate lacks the courage to save Jesus, but he demonstrates how an unbiased mind will see Him as holy. As Jesus is crucified, Luke's account notes three things He says on the cross. He asks God to forgive His killers, for they do not know what they are doing. Jesus extends salvation to the repentant criminal. And He commits His spirit into the Father's hands. These statements demonstrate His endless love and mercy and His complete trust in the Father. Following His death, a righteous man named Joseph is permitted by Pilate to bury Jesus. Pilate is confronted with a choice: to side with an innocent man and risk his standing or to turn from Jesus and give in to the demands of sinners. We know he chose poorly. But if we see Jesus for who He is, then discipleship will be even more than just claiming His innocence. We must defend His honor. Perhaps Jesus' honor is best shown by who He was while dying on the cross. His words reveal the depth of His righteousness. We can see how deeply he loves mankind. In His image, we must prove our character by how we speak and behave under harsh and unkind treatment. Even in death, Jesus trusted that God would take care of Him. Giving Father, You have shown Your grace in giving Your only Son to die on the cross to redeem us from our sins. We pray to have the cross always on our minds and to live each day in the shadow of that sacrifice. Help us to see His unrelenting love so that we will be drawn to Him, even after we have sinned against Him. We are the criminal on the cross, saved by Christ as we repent and turn to Him. Father, we also commit to a character that mirrors our Savior. Help us to shine in the darkness. - Pilate is such a tragic character. He knew the truth and lacked courage. What inspires you to stand for Jesus Christ against all opposition? - Both criminals mocked Jesus. One repented, and Jesus saved Him. What does that say about Jesus' willingness to save those who believe in Him? - A Centurion saw Jesus die and said, “Certainly this man was innocent.” How important is grace under fire in showing righteousness to others?
