Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.—John 19:28-30 (NLT)
My Savior and My Lord,
Thank You for finishing the mission—for completing the work of atonement for the sin of all mankind, for paying the debt for our sins—so that we could find our eternal life in You!
I pray that we all would
understand that out of the darkest day of history—the day You were crucified on
that cross—came the greatest good ever known to man, as You freely gave up Your
life so that we could be free to live eternally with You.
Help us, with solemn
reverence, remember that sacrifice today—even as we celebrate the abundant life
that it brings to anyone who will choose to believe that You are the Christ,
the Son of the Living God, and then surrender their life to Your Lordship.
Help us also to respond to this great love—that You would die for sinners like us—by boldly declaring this
Good News for all mankind, to all who will listen.
Thank You for finishing the mission—for completing the work of atonement for the sin of all mankind, for paying the debt for our sins—so that we could find our eternal life in You!
In Your Mighty and
Majestic Name, Lord Jesus, Amen.
