About this message

Jesus Gave Up His Spirit

In this powerful Midnight Hour Bible study, Reverend Ben Cooper explores Matthew 27:50–51 and the significance of Christ’s death on the cross. Focusing on Passover, redemption, salvation, and the power of the blood of Jesus, he explains how the crucifixion was God’s eternal plan rather than the work of human authority alone. The tearing of the temple curtain symbolised direct access to God through Jesus Christ and the beginning of the New Covenant. This encouraging message reminds believers that Jesus willingly gave His life, secured eternal salvation, defeated death, and remains the only way to the Father through faith.
