It Is Finished

So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit - John 19:30.

             The sixth word of Jesus on the cross is "It is finished". Jesus came down to earth from heaven to do the will of Father who sent Him to save us. I can of Myself do nothing. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me - John 6:38. I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me - John 5:30. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - 1 Timothy 1:15. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost - Luke 19:10. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus - Romans 3:23.24. 

                The purpose of Jesus for coming to this world to save us is finished. Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! - John 1:29. Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it - Colossians 2:14,15. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many - Mark 10:45. 

                  Let us thank God for His finished work on the cross. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed - Isaiah 53:5. I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do - John 17:4.  I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do - John 17:4. Like Jesus, let us also finish the purpose of God for us. Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature - Mark 16:15. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith - 2 Timothy 4:7.

                                                                       

                                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for Your finished work on the cross. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
