Psalm 31:5 (NET, 2nd Ed.)
5 Into your hand I entrust my life;
you will rescue me, O LORD, the faithful God.
Luke 23:44-47 (NET, 2nd Ed.)
44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, 45 because the sun’s light failed. The temple curtain was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And after he said this he breathed his last.
47 Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent!”
1st Corinthians 4:7 (NET, 2nd Ed.)
7 For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?
Luke 22:31-24 (NET, 2nd Ed.)
31 “Simon, Simon, pay attention! Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” 33 But Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!” 34 Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me.”
With Calvin, we see who we should put as master over our lives.
With Spurgeon, we see what happens when we falter in devotion to the Divine Master.
