What does it mean that Jesus entrusted His spirit to the Father?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus committing His spirit to the Father signifies His complete trust and submission to God’s will, even in death.

When Jesus uttered, 'Father, into Thy hands I commit my spirit,' He demonstrated total dependence on God the Father. This act reveals the depth of His trust in God amidst the agony of crucifixion. It affirms not only His humanity but also His divine assurance in God's promise of resurrection. Throughout His ministry, Jesus exemplified obedience and reliance on the Father, culminating in this final surrender, yet it was also a proclamation of His confidence in the Father's plan for redemption, anticipating His resurrection as pronounced in Psalm 16.
