Bible Question: JOHN 19:30 STATES THAT JESUS GAVE UP HIS GHOST AND DIED! COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO ME. |
Bible Answer: YHTAK: The Lord Jesus said "No man taketh it (his life) from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." (John 10:18) The significance of the Lord Jesus dismissing his own spirit demonstrates the truth of the verse above showing that he is indeed God manifest in the flesh. The literal meaning of Matt.27:50 where it is written "he yielded up the ghost it "dismissed his spirit. The beauty of the order of events at calvary is significant. We find that it was not until he cried with a loud voice "finished" did he bow his head and dismiss his spirit, knowing that the work of redemption is complete. Robert |
