SIXTH WORD: DONE!

 SIXTH WORD: DONE

I have always appreciated and admired people who were given an assignment, and then they completed that assignment on time and did it very well. They were responsible. They were great at time management. They were able to get the job done. And they did it completely! There are very, very few people like that today!

In John 19:30, hanging on the Cross, Jesus cried out “It is finished!” What was finished? What was done? What was completed? He had finished all the work that the Father had given Him to do. See John 17:4. His mission was complete. His assignment had been carried out. On time and in a tremendous way! The work of our salvation was finished.

Jesus had done everything that was asked of Him. 

He had kept the Law perfectly.

He had obeyed it freely.

He went to the Cross willingly.

He paid our sin debt.

He reconciled us to God.

He incurred our guilt and condemnation.

He suffered the wrath of God for our sins!

He brought honor to the Father who enabled Him to do it. He brought honor to the Spirit who empowered Him to complete His assignment. And He did it all with joy!  Hebrews 12:1-2

At the Cross, God laid on Him our iniquity and transferred our sins to Him. And He transferred the righteousness of Christ to us. Our sins are no longer ours to pay for. It is paid. It is done. It is finished. The transaction is complete. Mission accomplished! (II Corinthians 5:19-21)
