The Message of God to Man --

"When Jesus tasted the vinegar, he
said, "It is finished." Then he
bowed his head and died." JN 19:30

~~ IT IS FINISHED!

Stop and listen a moment. Let the words wind through your heart. Imagine the cry from the cross. The sky is dark. The other two victims are moaning. Jeering mouths of the crowd are silent. Perhaps there is thunder. Perhaps there is weeping. Perhaps there is silence. Then Jesus draws in a deep breath, pushes his feet down on that Roman nail, and cries, "It is finished!"

What was finished?

The history-long plan of redeeming man was finished. The message of God to man was finished. The works done by Jesus as a man on earth were finished....The sting of death had been removed. It was over.
