ISB ~ Luke 23 v46

Father, into your hands:Jesus is in full possession of himself as he entrusts even his death to the Father’s care. His Crucifixion is thus a willing sacrifice, not a tragic accident beyond his control (Jn 10:17-18; Eph 5:2).

• Jesus makes the cry of Ps 31:5 his own. The entire psalm moves from lamentation to praise, expressing both the agony and the confidence of an innocent sufferer. It is because the sufferer trusts in the Lord’s goodness that he anticipates his final deliverance and vindication in the end.
