He Gave His Life

“Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost” (Matthew 27:50).

This loud cry came as the Lord dismissed His spirit at the end of the three hours of darkness when He had finished the work of bearing “our sins in His own body on the tree” (1 Peter 2:24). In another gospel we read the very words He spoke at that time, saying, “Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit” (Luke 23:46).

This was not the weak whisper of a dying man succumbing to death, but a strong cry of victory. Never think that the death of the Lord Jesus was the result of physical decline caused by the sufferings of the cross, severe as these were. The Lord Jesus was not overcome by death, because death had no claim upon Him. He had already said, “No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father” (John 10:18). We also read, “He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:8). What a Saviour! What love!
