The end of Jesus’ earthly life marked the beginning
of our resurrected lives. Jesus, the only perfect human ever to walk the earth
became the sacred, perfect lamb. His humility, torture and pain took the
world’s sin, all of it, and brought an end to it. Jesus spoke this truth before
He gave up His Spirit.
When
He had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, He bowed
His head and gave up His Spirit. John
19:30
Those
three words, “It is finished,” represent our redeemed lives. Our sins are
forgiven, once and for all, past, present and future, the minute we accept
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Remember that when you are discouraged, when
you lose your confidence, when the world spins out of control. You are the
redeemed child of the most high, sons and daughters of the King, loved and
treasured, marked for heaven.
The
finished work of the cross brings us resurrected lives. Jesus rose again and so
will we. His second coming will not be filled with His humiliation and
destruction. It will reveal His full glory and majesty.
Therefore
God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every
name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth
and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to
the glory of God the Father, Philippians 2:9-11
Dear Father,
One day the whole earth will view the glory of Your
Son. We pray for those that do not yet know Him, to acknowledge He is Lord of
all. One day every eye will see and every knee will bow. And at our death, life
will begin.
In Jesus name,
Amen
