It Is Done
The deepest love poured out of the greatest sacrifice in history. A love that heals. A love that forgives. A love that welcomes. That love shattered our brokenness and death. Let’s ready our hearts and our minds to celebrate the greatest divine intervention of all time.
It is Finished – It Is Done!
John 19:28-30 NLTJesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Whatever stopped you was finished.
Your victim mentality was finishedYour hopelessness was finishedYour aimless life came to an endYour fear – that was finished tooAnything that prevented you from the fullness of life now and life eternal was defeated and put aside. Once for all time.
Hebrews 9:25-28 TPTUnder the old system year after year the high priest entered the most holy sanctuary with blood that was not his own. But the Messiah did not need to repeatedly offer himself year after year, for that would mean he must suffer repeatedly ever since the fall of the world. But
now he has appeared at the fulfillment of the ages to abolish sin once and for all by the sacrifice of himself! Every human being is appointed to die once and then to face God’s judgment. But when we die we will be face-to-face with Christ, the One who experienced death once for all to bear the sins of many! And now to those who eagerly await him, he will appear a second time; not to deal with sin, but to bring us the fullness of salvation.
He crafted something from nothing! The Finished becomes the Done!
Revelation 21:6-7He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.
Revelation 21:1-5Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
It all become inevitable when Jesus started the chain of events at the cross.The fullness of every promise and statement was now inevitable.
Your new man begins when you accept the inevitability of His promises.Jesus presented the beginning of a new life at the cross. He presented an inevitable decision that your old life was finished, your old thinking was finished, and not even death could stop you from stepping into this incredible life.
