"Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last." Luke 23:46 English Standard Version

Many of us aren't comfortable with a crucifix. We've been told that the cross should be empty as a symbol of the resurrection. However, Jesus had to die on that cross for it to be emptied of his body.

Jesus' hands were firmly attached to this cross. He died with these hands fastened to the tree, yet before he dies he commits himself into his Father's hands. The only way for Jesus to be free of the cross was to die. He had nowhere to go and no one to whom he could look to save him from death. With his last breath he commits his spirit to the Father.

These nails pierced the hands of God.

Because of Jesus' nails we can commit ourselves into the hands of our loving Father. Through Jesus we can be assured that God will not turn his back on us. The Forsaken one guarantees that we will never be forsaken by God.

We will never be disowned by God because of the nails that pierced Jesus' hands.
