John 19:30 – It is Finished
This was the phrase Jesus said before He died. It is a Word of Triumph. Sin has been dealt with. Satan has been defeated. It is the announcement that Jesus’ earthly
ministry has been completed. Nothing
more has to be done or said. Jesus is
anticipating resurrection. This is a cry
of victory. A plan was fulfilled,
salvation has come and love has been shown.
Jesus had taken our place. He
demonstrated both humanities weakness and God’s love. He offered Himself as the one and for all
sacrifice for mankind. This statement is
His declaration to His complete obedience to His divine purpose. Jesus was the Lamb of God who took away the
sins of the world. Nothing more is
needed or added. To do so would negate
the sacrifice of the cross. As he died,
it was finished. The greatest, noblest
man who ever walked this planet, God in flesh breathed His last. As I write this the awesome reality of what
was done has fully impacted this writer.
Jesus the perfect Lamb of God died for me. Praise God.
As this day is the Day of Remembrance for those who gave their lives for
the freedom of man. Let us remember the
greatest sacrifice for freedom ever.
