The Day When God Lost His Breath
GE 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Mr 15:37 And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
Notice here that God breathed into man the breath of life. In order to bless man with life He breathed into Man. But Man fell into sin and God’s justice must be upheld. His justice demanded the breath or the life of Man. So what does God do? Mark 15:37: “Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last.”
On the cross, He "lost" His breath; He breathed out His own life so that Man might be blessed with the breath of eternal life. In Genesis, He breathed life into Man. In Mark, He breathed out His life for Man.
If it is said in the creation of Man that God breathed into Man’s nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being, so in the new creation of man in salvation it can also be said that God, in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, breathed out His life for fallen Man so that Man can become eternally living.
If you are still unsaved, the Lord Jesus wants you to simply breathe in the eternal life He breathed out for you at Calvary. He wants you to trust in what He did on the cross for your salvation.
