12: Jesus dies on the cross

"Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Father, into your hands I commend my spirit'; and when he had said this he breathed his last." - Luke 23:46

In the Northern Hemisphere, we're well on our way to spring. The grass is starting to grow, brown, wilted plants are sprouting up green, the birds are back and the earth is coming alive again. But this is the moment - the actual moment, when our lives began anew. And unlike the seasons, this happened once, and for all. This death, for this man, is what brought spring to our spirits.

Drink this verse in - it is ours, and His, defining moment.
