Luke 23:46
"Jesus called out with a loud voice, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.' When he had said this, he breathed his last."
When Jesus spoke His very last words in Luke 23:46, His life on Earth ended. But His eternal reign in our lives was just beginning.
The seven cries of Jesus from the cross, when paralleled with the way Jesus appeared to the travelers on the road to Emmaus after His death, invite us into our own Seven-Mile Miracle. By focusing on the significance of Jesus' final words, and the way he broke the bread in the presence of the two travelers in Luke 24, you can gain unique perspective on who Jesus is, what He has done for you, and how He wants to reveal Himself to you every day.
"Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread." (Luke 24:35)
Just as Jesus took the bread in His hands, He takes you from a place of uncertainty and brings you into a life of faith, hope, and security.
Just as He blessed the bread, He blesses you and favors you with a new life found only in Him.
Just as He broke the bread, He allows you to be broken to increase your dependency on Him.
And finally, just as He gave the bread to His disciples, He gives you to the world for the sake of His glory.
