The Last Breath of Jesus – Br. Keith Nelson SSJE Sermons
-
- Christianity
“The quiet, calm purpose of Jesus is sealed by the confidence of his final words: “It is finished.” It is finished with great suffering, and with great love. It is completed, whole, and offered up in glory. With him, at long last, we exhale and are drawn to our knees – not in defeat, but in awe. There is nothing more for us to do, but ask for the spirit of Jesus to aid us as we make a fresh return of such great love.”
Br. Keith Nelson marvels at the depths of meaning held in Jesus' final breath from the cross.
