This week we are going to discuss Jesus' final saying from the cross - Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit, and the death of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In 1 Peter had said: For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly. Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed. For you were as sheep going astray; but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
你們原是為此而蒙召的，因為基督也為你們受了苦，給你們留下了榜樣，叫你們追隨他的足跡。"他沒有犯過罪，他口中也從未出過謊言;" 他受辱罵，卻不還罵；他受虐待，卻不報復，只將自己交給那照正義行審判的天主； 他在自己的身上，親自承擔了我們的罪過，上了木架，為叫我們死於罪惡，而活於正義; "你們是因他的創傷而獲得了痊愈." 你們從前有如迷途的亡羊，如今卻被領回，歸依你們的靈牧和監督。(伯多祿前書 Chapter 2:21~25)
