3. "Woman, behold your son"

7. "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit"
“Darkness came over the whole land ... the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, He breathed his last.” Luke 23:44-49, NIV
Thank Jesus for the perfect sacrifice of His life for your life. Follow His example by committing every area of your life into His hands.
