"...I Commend My Spirit"
Precious friends, for your Edification and Encouragement In Christ:
"Jesus...Cried With A Loud Voice"
“And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit:
and having said thus, He gave up the ghost” (Luke 23:46). On the cross, the Lord “cried with a loud
voice” when He said, “It is finished” (John 19:30). The work of redemption was complete. The penalty
for sin was paid in full.
The Greek words for “loud voice” are megas and phone. These two Greek words together give us our
English word megaphone. Like a megaphone, the Lord’s words, “It is finished,” were loud, clearly heard,
and traveled for a distance, even throughout time and into eternity.
“It is finished” was a cry of completion and ultimate victory. The same combination of megas and
phone is used in Revelation to refer to the praise from the thousands upon thousands of angels
who worship the Lord around the throne in heaven (Rev. 5:11), “Saying with a loud voice, Worthy
is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour,
and glory, and blessing” (v. 12). For what Christ did for us in paying our sin debt in full, He is worthy
to be worshipped with a loud voice of praise throughout eternity..." (K Sadler)
