I AM MORNING GLORY/ MORNING WORSHIP(THE CROSS,THE ALTAR OF PRAYERS)

THE SEVENTH WORD

Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 
"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." 
Luke 23:46

The seventh word of Jesus is from the Gospel of Luke, and is directed to the Father in heaven, just before He dies. Jesus recalls Psalm 31:5 - "Into thy hands I commend my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God." Luke repeatedly pleads Jesus' innocence: with Pilate (Luke 23:4, 14-15, 22), through Dismas the criminal (by legend) (Luke 23:41), and immediately after His death with the centurion - "Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, "Certainly this man was innocent" (Luke 23:47). 

Jesus was obedient to His Father to the end, and his final word before his death on the Cross was a prayer to His Father.
