When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. – John 19:30
There has never been a more significant event in recorded history. The Son of God was crucified. The enormity of it is beyond our comprehension. What did Christ “finish” on the cross?
He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. - Romans 4:25
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. - 2 Corinthians 5:21
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. – 1 Peter 2:24
With his death on the cross, Christ did for us what we could not do for ourselves. He conquered sin, and made a way for us to be reconciled to God. Praise God, we have a Savior and his name is Jesus!
Father, I know that I am wicked and that I deserve death. Thank you for intervening. Thank you for sending your Son, Jesus, to die for me. Thank you for your grace that allows me to inherit Christ’s righteousness by faith.
Matt
Matt, I was having a rough moment in life but this message reminded me that I have so much to be grateful for. First of all is what my Savior did on the cross for me. He paid the price for my sins, clothe me in His righteousness and reconcile me to my Heavenly Father. How much more should I ask for or be grateful for. I love the Lord Jesus Christ. In His Love Francie
