“It
Is Finished”
G.S. Jones
Clearly
Jesus is done with His mission of salvation, you might say that the gift is
wrapped and sitting under the tree...
Even though, as our High Priest, He now is sitting down on His throne in
Heaven, He still has more that He wants to do with us. Let me encourage you today to determine not
to be a half-way, Sunday morning, good enough, Christian! Let your life and service reflect what Jesus
did for you on the cross, because, “It
is finished!” Someday soon, years or
minutes from now, He will take our lives into His hands and say “It is
finished” to us!
The
apostle Paul was not a perfect man by any means, but the Lord allowed him to
testify in Scripture that when he came to the end of his life he had done what
the Lord asked him to do. II Timothy 4:6-8
“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at
hand. I have fought a good fight, I
have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but
unto all them also that love his appearing.”
How will we know we are finished?
When the Lord crowns our service for Him!
Created
to glorify
Saved
to sanctify
Molded
to identify
Elect
but not elite
We
will only be complete
On
the day we lay our crowns at His feet.
