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 - 46)

The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ (quotes)... On a barren hill beyond the city walls they nailed His body to the cross. Two robbers were crucified with Him. It was over. The rabble sickened quickly of its revenge and scattered; His friends were hiding; the soldiers were busy casting lots for His garments. There was nothing left of those external influences which fire men's imaginations. Surely the victory of His enemies was complete. And yet - the lasting victory was His. "The man who loses his life," Jesus said, "shall find it."
