1 Chronicles 7:1-40; Ezekiel 10:1-22; John 2:23-3:21
Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business? Luke 2:49 NKJV
Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit. Luke 23:46 NKJV
Our Lord lived His life between these two statements. They are His first and last recorded words. They centre on the Father’s will. To do the Father’s will was why He came down from heaven (John 6:38), how He lived on earth—it was His daily food (John 4:34a), and what He always did in life—those things that pleased the Father (John 8:29). His goal in life was to finish His work (John 4:34b), and when He did, He used His last breath to commend His spirit into the Father’s hands. —Rex Trogdon
Without a hope, this world was sunk in sin and shame until,
The Saviour came to do the Father’s will. —Helen Griggs
