A medical man, under the conviction of sin, was visiting a patient who was saved and happy in the Lord.
"Now," said he, addressing the sick. one, "I want you just to tell me what it is—this faith in Jesus, and all that sort of thing that brings peace.”
"Doctor, I have felt that I could do nothing, and I have put my case in your hands. I am trusting in you. This is exactly what every poor sinner must do with regard to the Lord Jesus.”
This reply greatly awakened the doctor's surprise, and a new light broke in upon his "Is that all," he exclaimed, "simply trusting in the Lord Jesus? I see it as I never saw it before. He has done the work.”
Christ Jesus said on the cross, "It is finished," and "whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”
From that sick bed the doctor went away rejoicing in Christ. The Lord Jesus finished the work; you believe and live.
"It is finished!”
Finished every jot;
Sinner, this is all you need,
Tell me is it not?”
