John 19:30 “It is Finished”

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

What powerful word of “It is Finished”.   At that moment, Jesus life passed and he returned to his father.  All of this issued in the New Covenant, Jesus took all of our sins and paid for them with his life. 

I’ve been reading an awesome book by Sheila Walsh “Beautiful things happen when a woman trusts God”.  I would like to do a book club with this book if any of you are interested (email me and let me know).  Anyways there is one quote from it I want to share with you “Nothing in relationship with God depends on us getting it right.  His covenant takes care of that.  We just get to love, trust and follow him all the way home”.    Think about that for a minute. 

We all try to beat ourselves up when we mess up.  We all mess up from time to time.  Nobody is perfect, but isn’t it reassuring to know that “It is Finished” and all we have to do is trust, love and follow Jesus.  But it seems so hard to take that advice.  We are a generation of “Me” people.  I was raised to rely on myself so it’s been a struggle to turn it all over to Jesus.  But since I have worked to change that all, I have such a peace about life.  It might be crazy at time, I might be wondering how I’m going to pay my bills or such but I know that it will work out.  Jesus is by my side and I am trusting in him.

I hope that you can find that trust in Jesus today.  Pray about it.  Pray that you are filled with his spirit and joy.  And NO ONE can take away that Joy.  So until next time, keep your head up, faith strong and make every minute count.  Love, AMY!
