Psalm 31:5 is a familiar verse to many particular during the remembrance of Christ’s death — “into your hand I commit my spirit.” When He uttered those words, Christ addressed them to His Father. By referring to God as Father, Christ expressed the depth of intimacy between the First and Second Persons of the Godhead. Indeed, as John 5:20 states, “The Father loves the Son.”
That Christ prayed from Psalm 31 while on the cross, amid agony, suggests that as we study this prayer, we will, in turn, study the Lord’s heart and mind while on the cross. Psalm 31 weaves together the themes of suffering and triumph and provides an important backdrop for Christ’s death and resurrection.
