1981 “Letting Go” Through His Cross

Pastor Jack draws from the passion narrative in Matthew’s Gospel to explore Jesus’ final moments on the cross. He focuses especially on Christ’s surrender-“Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit”-as a powerful model for releasing control and trusting God. Pastor Jack challenges listeners to let go of the things they clutch and cling to, reminding them that Jesus’ death was not the result of victimhood but a voluntary act of surrender that brought resurrection power.
