LUKE 23:46

 Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit."  When He had said this, He breathed His last. - Luke 23:46

Was this a relief?  It was finally all over.  Was this sad?  You were leaving your home for the last 33 years.  Was there some fear involved?  You were, if I have my theology correct, about to literally go to hell.  Was there some satisfaction?  You had done what the Father wanted You to do.  

I think I underestimate all the emotions that must have been going on during that time You had on the cross.  So many things coming to an end.  Being Jesus, I think I've always just looked at this from a Savior / pain standpoint.  But, as a fully human man, there was so much happening.

So, when You say, "into your hands I commit my spirit." You really are coming to the realization that this physical part of You is gone.  That had to be tough.

​The winter Metra crowd is a lot different!  People plying music without headphones, talking loudly - it’s like the L! I was looking forward...
