It Is Finished

I want to thank the Women's Ministry for last night's fellowship. It was just a great time sharing with other women.

This is from a book entitled Grace for the Moment by Max Lucado. It's about the three words...IT IS FINISHED. I thought how grand this would be on Good Friday!

"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 adeep 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."

Max Lucado... No Wonder They Call Him The Savior

When Jesus tasted the vinegar, He said, "It is finisheed." Then He bowed His head and died. John 19:30
