"it is finished"

When we die, we take nothing out of this world.  The only thing that we take is our souls.  Our worldly possession, our good deeds, our families and our friends are left behind.

So GOD wanted to redeem us and give us a way to spend eternity with HIM.  Therefore Jesus had to come to earth, live as a man, born of a Virgin mother.  He had to be sinless and blameless.  And He had to die a really terrible death so that we could put all our sin on His blameless life.

Therefore Jesus said on the cross "It is finished."  He had completed the work that GOD had sent Him to do.  He had redeemed our sins with own blood shed for us on the cross.

Now the only thing remaining was for Him to rise from the dead, which He did.  Three days after His death, confirmed by the Roman soldiers, who were experienced in death through crucifixion.  These soldiers did not even break the legs of our Messiah as He was already dead.  They did however pierce His side and blood and water gushed out.  

Further proof that Jesus was dead.  

Let us today thank GOD that we have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus.  Let us shout to the Lord that we accept Jesus as our Saviour.  Let us confess our sins and accept the Grace of GOD.

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR grace and I accept Jesus as my Lord and my Saviour.  Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!
