46 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.
Lk 23.46
46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
I’m goin’ Home, I’m goin’ Home
I can see the lights of Heaven and I know it won’t be long
There’s a band of angels waitin’ now to sing a welcome song
I’m goin’ Home, I’m goin’ Home
I’m just passin’ through headed for a better land
I’m lookin’ for a city built by God’s own Hand
I’m livin’ in this world but my Home’s beyond the blue
My bags are packed, I’m ready for the move
I’m goin’ Home, I’m goin’ Home
I can see the lights of Heaven and I know it won’t be long
There’s a band of angels waitin’ now to sing a welcome song
I’m goin’ Home, I’m goin’ Home
Could be any day now when I will say goodbye
To earthly pain and sorrow and all the cares of life
I’ve made my reservation, my name is written down
I’ll leave it all when that trumpet sounds.
Song By Booth Brothers
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. 22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Rev 21.21
Luke reports an extraordinary, cosmic sign that the creation is anguished: darkness. Creation suffers with Christ in his suffering (Ephrem the Syrian) and mourns for its Lord (Cyril of Alexandria). The darkness that God allowed to usurp authority over the world at Jesus’ arrest worked death and chaos, and yet it obscures from everyone the deadly wickedness placed upon Jesus. By the darkness, Christ’s enemies can now see him as he truly is: the Son of God
Jesus had offered forgiveness, spoke of relationships, he converted a thief, experienced silence, he was thirsty and declared it finish.
Understanding in dark times watch the moving hand in your life.

I. A Cry to God
I. A Cry to God
a single cry brings direction or deliverance instantly. Many have wondered why there are such powerful results from simply crying out to God, yet the promise is clear:
15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

Characteristics of a Cry
Characteristics of a Cry
Crying out to God is an act of desperation and total concentration. It is a fervent expression of faith in God and trust in His goodness and power to act on your behalf. Crying out to God expresses the following traits:
Genuine humility
It is hard for people to admit that they cannot solve a problem or overcome an obstacle, but it is true that we need God’s help. He delights in a broken and contrite heart that humbly seeks His aid. “. . . He forgetteth not the cry of the humble” (; see also ).
Unconditional surrender
II. Confidence in God
II. Confidence in God
When a situation becomes so desperate that only God can deliver you, a cry represents total, unconditional surrender. Don’t try to bargain with God—leave your life in His hands. “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” ().
A plea for mercy
Apart from Christ, we have no value that merits God’s favor. When driven to a point of despair or destruction, your unworthiness before God often becomes more apparent, and it can motivate you to cry out to Him for mercy. “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” ().
Personal helplessness
Do you tend to believe that you need God’s help with only the really hard things? Remember, Jesus said, “Without me ye can do nothing” ().
Faith in God’s power and resources
Your cry to God acknowledges God’s ability to do what no one else can do. During the storm on the Sea of Galilee, the disciples acknowledged Jesus’ power to rescue them when they cried out, “Lord, save us: we perish”(.)
Desperation
Crying out to God is an admission of one’s need for God. The psalmist declared, “In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears” ().
Examples of God’s Response to Crying Out
Examples of God’s Response to Crying Out
The Bible is filled with examples of times when God answered the cries of His people. Below are a few examples of occasions on which individuals cried out to God and God heard their cries and delivered them:
Elijah cried out, and God revived a dead child:
().
Jehoshaphat cried out, and God delivered him from death:
().
Hezekiah cried out, and God gave him victory:
().
Jesus’ disciples cried out to Him in a storm, and Jesus calmed the sea: ().
“As they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm” ().
Blind Bartimaeus called to Jesus, and He restored his sight:
