If the cross were a crime scene, human fingerprints would be everywhere: the bag of silver, the whip, the thorns, the hammer. But Jesus never once thought of himself as being in their hands. So whose hands was he in?
In this final message of the series, we turn to Luke 23:44–46, where Jesus gives up his life with words from Psalm 31:5, a prayer Jewish mothers taught their children at bedtime. The kind of faith nurtured at the crib was still carrying him at the cross.
Begin with the end in mind, because no one drifts into eternal life. Store up Scripture now, because human hands can take almost everything but cannot touch what is already in your heart. Make worship normal in the worst rooms of your life. And rest in a Father whose grip does not depend on yours.
