When You Are in Over Your Head

By Johnny Hester

    Luke 23:44-46, Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
    Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
    And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said,
    “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit’.”
    Having said this, He breathed His last.
    “He breathed His last.” Those words cause one’s heart to sink.  When Jesus exhaled for a final time on the cross, all the minions of Hell may well have thought that the battle was over and that victory belonged to Satan their evil commander. But how wrong they were! And how horrified they must have been just a short time later! Yes, Jesus suffered and died. He was buried. But then “He rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:4)! Furthermore, “He [The Father] has put all things under His feet” (v. 27)! Think for a moment about the wonderful implications of that truth that should compel us to praise, worship and live for God.
    “He has put all things under His feet” (v. 27). Do you ever feel that you are in way over your head with problems? That may be the case, but Jesus is over all things. He is in Heaven, interceding on your behalf! A glorious fact is powerfully declared in Romans 8:34, “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”  Where are your problems? “Under His feet”! Jesus is alive! He is in control! Jesus is coming again!
    Beloved, is there someone in your life who is hurting, suffering, struggling? Consider sending that person a note of encouragement and be sure to use Romans 8:34 as a closing verse of hope. Letting one know that Christ is alive, above, active and working on the behalf of His people can bring a comfort and strength that nothing else can produce.
