#2929 – It Is Finished

Good morning people whom Jesus Christ has set free because of His sacrifice

Hebrews 10:12-14 (NIV) 12 But when this priest (Jesus) had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God, 13 and since that time He waits for His enemies to be made His footstool. 14 For by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

Our best isn’t good enough, but Jesus’ best is!

Our continual daily sacrifices aren’t good enough, but Jesus’ one sacrifice is!

Jesus’ statement of “It is finished!” on the cross is the truth for us today! There is no longer any need for us to continually offer sacrifices in order to become acceptable to God. Jesus offered the sacrifice that was needed once and for all!

And now He has sat down at the right hand of God, because, His work in this area is done! Sure, He continues to do a good work in us, but not from the place of trying to make us acceptable to the Father – that was done by Jesus once and for all!

I wonder if thanking Jesus for His perfect sacrifice should replace our focus on us trying to continually sacrifice.

Jesus has done what we need!
