Back in the day, Michael Jordan was almost universally known as the greatest of all time in college and professional basketball.
When the game was on the line and there was only one shot left to win, you wanted the ball in Jordan’s hands.
He was going to make sure his team won.
The final words of Christ on the cross are words expressing full trust:
“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!”
What a powerful moment when all the results of what happens next are put into the hands of someone else!
Jesus had full confidence that His Father would “make the shot.”
He trusted not only that His Father would not let Him decay in a tomb, but He would win eternity for everyone who puts the ball in His hands.
Whose hands are you putting your life into with full trust?
