Jesus' last prayer

James Gudgeon December, 31 2025 Video & Audio
The sermon centers on Jesus' final words from the cross—'Father, into Your hands I commend my spirit'—presenting them as the ultimate expression of trust, surrender, and divine security. Drawing from Psalm 31 and the broader biblical narrative, it emphasizes that Christ's death was not defeat but a voluntary, victorious act of atonement, fully accomplished and accepted by the Father. The sermon highlights the profound comfort and assurance this provides for believers: just as Christ entrusted His spirit to the Father, so too are all who are in Christ securely held by God's hand, preserved from eternal loss and guaranteed eternal life. It reflects on the reality of death as a transition to glory, illustrated through the examples of Stephen and the Lord's own resurrection, and calls believers to live with the same unwavering confidence in God's sovereignty and care. Ultimately, the message affirms that every moment of life and every final breath are held in the faithful, loving hands of God.
