“It is finished.”

John 19:30


Good Friday celebrates the day our Lord died for our sins on the cross. I have often sat and tried to imagine the agony and suffering. At one point He said from the cross, “It is finished” (John 19:30). He meant that God had accepted His work on the cross as the penalty for our sins.


Christ’s death on our behalf is the reason God can forgive us and still be just. And Christ's death teaches us the depth and breadth that there should be in our forgiveness of one another too.


While that holy Friday was tremendous, it was only a prelude to Sunday morning, when He was raised from the dead. Godly women had come to see His tomb, but angels made the glorious announcement, “He has risen!” (Luke 24:6). His resurrection guaranteed that we, too, will be raised, if we are believers and obeyer of His Word.


As you celebrate the truth that Jesus came from Heaven to redeem you, are you reflecting His likeness to those around you?

Read

John 19:17-30.

Prayer

God of Heaven and Earth, thank You for the Lord Jesus, and His wonderful work on the cross for me. Amen.
