“Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.” John 19:30 (NASB)
These are the last words spoken by Jesus while he hung on the cross just before He died. Most of us understand and have heard this verse and understand how very meaningful they are. Jesus had come from Heaven, lived a perfect life as a man and was accomplishing what He had come to do. He came to fulfill God's plan for our salvation – making a way for all people to believe and receive forgiveness and eternal life. Although Jesus had not sinned, He died to pay the price for all the sins we would commit. He was dying in our place. We can be so grateful to Jesus, the Son of God for going all the way for us. When he declared “it is finished” it was for each of us. We do well to be thankful and praise Him for what He has done for us. By faith believing, what He finished becomes finished for us as well. Let's be sure to give ourselves to Him in complete submission to His will today and every day.
