IT IS FINISHED

IT IS FINISHED

I believe this cry marked the exact moment when the sins of all humanity—past, present, and future—were heaped upon Christ and the full cup of God’s wrath poured forth. Somehow I believe that to bear the sin, Jesus also had to bear the separation. Though Christ had to suffer the incomparable agony of separation from the fellowship of His Father while sin was judged, I am moved that He breathed His last breath with full assurance of His Father’s trustworthiness.

The human body of the life-giver hung lifeless. It was finished. He gave up His last human breath so He never had to give up on humanity.
