Christ: VICTORY!!
“It is finished!” John 19:30. What Christ is referring to here is the
accomplished salvation of the people. What that means is that when we are saved,
we do not have to put out burnt sacrifices up to Him. It is no longer needed
because Christ died for us, which took away the iniquities of our sin. He did
this out of great love for us. This is exemplified in John 3:16 “For God so
loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever belief in
him shall have eternal life!”. That verse is very important to us, or should be,
because in a way, one could base his/her relationship with the Lord upon it. The
reason is because God loved us so much that he did that for us so that is the
least that we could do. In Genesis 3:15 it says that we will be punished for our
sins. Yes, that is true, but God will forgive and forget them if we repent. You
see this is not possible without Jesus dying for our sins. In Romans 5:6-8 it
says that Christ died for all of us. Even the bad ones, ALL. This is a sign of
the Victory that Christ had won a victory here. The reason is because of all of
the lives that he saved and will later be saved. In Romans 5 it says that Jesus
died for All Sinners! We are all sinners so his death was for all.
When Jesus says that “It is finished”, he can also be referring to the older
predictions of Christs life. There is one in particular that it might have been
talking about in Isaiah. That is the one in which Isaiah talks of the life of
Jesus and the crucifixion, in very short and brief detail.
The suffering in which Jesus took for us lasted all through the night, and then
in the morning a sword was thrusted into His side to see if he was alive. After
the water poured out of His side, you can say that it is officially over. In my
heart it is not completely over, just that of that
