It Is Finished
“It is finished” were the dying words of our truest, best and dearest Friend. The dying words of loved ones are long remembered and are not easily forgotten; when Christ uttered this triumphant cry He was in the act of giving up His soul as an offering for sin.
What was finished? His life of shame, of suffering and sorrow was ended. He had been “despised and rejected of men.” Many times He was weary, hungry and thirsty! That is all over. “For your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.”
The Lord Jesus appeared to “put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself” (Hebrews 9:26). When He died at Calvary a full and perfect atonement for sin was accomplished. Christ “poured out His soul unto death.” He “bare our sins in His own body on the tree.” The ransom has been paid. The penalty has been met. Peace has been made. The law’s demands have been fully met. God is fully satisfied with Christ’s finished work, and He desires that we should be satisfied with that which satisfies Him.
“Christ did His part and left us to do ours,” say some. In what part of Scripture is it stated that Christ did “His part” of the work of atonement? It was on account of our sins that He suffered and bled and died. If, then, God is eternally satisfied with what Christ did for you, what is left unfinished for you to do?
Don’t insult God by bringing your prayers, works, vows, tears, good resolutions or happy feelings to supplement the work of His beloved Son. Can you add to a “finished” work? Salvation has been purchased at an infinite cost; and is now offered to you as a free gift.
“Then said they to Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent” (John 6:28-29).
