NKJV 365 / Yielded up His Spirit

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 101 of 365 Yielded up His spirit: Christ's death was voluntary to the very end, for even on the Cross, His life could not be taken from Him against His will. Christ accepts death on the Cross neither to receive the Father's punishment on our behalf, nor to satisfy the Father's need for blood-justice (as if God would demand such things), but so that by entering death as the divine Son of God, He can destroy this last enemy, which is death itself (1Co 15:20-28). Taken from The Orthodox Study Bible Matthew 27:50 NASB 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
