Friday Good

And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit."  Having said this, He breathed His last.  Luke 23:46

Jesus here quoted Psalm 31:5 when he said, "into your hands I commit my spirit."  It is interesting that he did not commit his body to the Father.  Rather, his body was buried in a tomb, to be resurrected on the third day.  Even Jesus, the Son of God had a dead body, just like the rest of humanity, and was buried just like the rest of humanity.  And He would be resurrected at a later time, just like the rest of humanity.  Jesus shared in our life, death and tribulations.  Things man had always experienced.  But He led the way in being resurrected, because unlike us, we have no power over death.  So, as we remember His death today, we also await the resurrection.
