My favorite phrase in
the bible is “It is finished”. John 19:30. This is the point at which our
Lord Jesus Declared on the cross...it is OVER, the curtain in the temple tore
into two, Mark 15:38, meaning I have direct access to the throne of God. I love
the Cross; it is one of my best in the entire bible because it speaks volumes, my
hubby will tell you that I love songs that have to do with the cross. I can confidently
say that the cross sums up my life.
And just to let you
know, that finished business, also includes resurrection. I can only imagine what
went through our saviors mind when He was on the cross, when He said, it is finished-
He must have meant;
They are free! …………………They
can have eternal life!…………… They can live a victorious life!........ They can
have a life of abundance! ………They are redeemed! …..No Hell can separate them from
my love!...they now have power over sin…and can find forgiveness for their sins!....They
can live with me eternally!....
When I am down
and fighting battles, the cross and resurrection reminds me that I am fighting
from a point of victory. Once again,
Jesus said it is finished. I,as Emmah therefore, have no business to finish over in my life, it over! Christ died for me!
The next time you
feel condemned, you feel like you are not worthy, you feel like you have to die for your life….always remember…Jesus
said, IT IS FINISHED! He fought for you and finished very well and now you are
but a victorious Christian. He is ALIVE and
YOU ARE COMPLETE IN
GOD!
Easter is setting up camp in my mind. There are so many scriptures bringing me memories of God's love for us. None speak as loudly as "It is finished." No more pain for Him, nothing but glory and resurrection! No more wondering for us, either -- our salvation is complete with his work. For this marvelous, unspeakable gift from God, we are eternally grateful.
