IT IS FINISHED
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
(Joh 19:30)
--Lord, our God, grant us wisdom and understanding as we study Your Word through the Holy Spirit, Amen.--
Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith -- I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do. -- By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. -- Having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father. -- Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.
(Heb 12:2) (Joh 17:4) (Heb 10:10-14) (Col 2:14) (Joh 10:17-18) (Joh 15:13) NASB
--Thank-you Father God for the privilege of washing ourselves in Your Holy Word. May the lesson be deeply etched into the archive of our hearts, In Christ, AMEN.--
