It Is Finished!


On the cross, Jesus said, "it is finished".

What Jesus was referring to was that the price of our sin was paid in full.
There would be no more need to sacrifice bulls and goats.
No scapegoat would ever be sent into the desert for the sins of man. Lev 16:10

Jesus sacrificed His life for man and His blood was the ultimate covering of sin.
He took ALL of man's sin, pain, and sickness on Himself.
Jesus knew before He allowed Himself to be arrested the pain He would endure 
and the loss of communion with God.
So full of anxiety that He cried tears of blood. Luke 22:24
And yet He did it anyway.
So great is His love for us!

Jesus accomplished what He set out to do and fulfilled prophecy.
Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken, 
Smitten by  God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

Receive all that Jesus did for us on the cross and rejoice!
