The Last Words Jesus Said On The Cross RevealThe True Nature Of God The Father

Send us a text

Jesus' seven last statements on the cross reveal a profound depth of love and purpose that transcends the horrific torture he endured. Spoken from a place of unimaginable physical agony—after being falsely accused, mercilessly beaten with rods, whipped nearly to death, and hung on a Roman torture device—these words carry extraordinary weight precisely because of where and how they were uttered.

The final statement, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit," showcases a trust and surrender that defies human logic. After declaring "It is finished," Jesus placed his very being into the safest (yet physically unseen) hands possible—those of his Heavenly Father. This profound act of trust followed his temporary experience of separation when he took on humanity's sin, making his return to unity with the Father all the more significant.

Many struggle with the concept of "Father" because of painful earthly experiences. Fathers who abandoned, abused, or failed their children have created distorted images of fatherhood that affect how we relate to God. Jesus came specifically to demonstrate who the Father truly is—not harsh, angry or difficult to please, but loving, protective and good. When Philip asked to see the Father, Jesus responded with surprise: "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father." Their relationship was so intimate that, as Jesus described, "you couldn't really see where one stopped and the other started."

The security Jesus felt in committing his spirit to the Father is the same security he offers us. We live between D-Day (Christ's victory on the cross) and V-E Day (the final consummation of all things), and though battles continue, the ultimate victory is secure. Jesus invites us to come home to the Father, to break free from misconceptions about God that have kept us distant, and to find our true security in the Father's hands.
