BLESSINGS OF THE CROSS - DAY 24
He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up
His spirit. JOHN 19:30
After nine hours of standing on His feet,
after being scourged, slapped, and manhandled, after six
hours of hanging on the cross, the average person would
have barely had enough life and breath left to even
whisper. But Jesus, the Lamb of God, with life still fully
flowing through His body, shouted out in a clear, ringing,
triumphant voice, “It is finished.” The price for our
redemption had been paid! The sacrifice for our sin had
been made! Sin was forgiven! Guilt was atoned for!
Eternal life was now offered! Heaven has been opened!
It is finished!
You don’t have to do more good works than bad
works.
You don’t have to go to church every time the door
opens.
You don’t have to climb the stairs to some statue.
You don’t have to be religious.
You don’t even have to be good!
It is finished! The price has been paid!
