I asked God to give me the words to write in a post today as we remember Crucifixion Friday, the most important day ever in all human history. Instead, He sent me a link to a blog post someone else wrote, which says it so beautifully and so perfectly.
“It is finished,” His last words on the cross. And though we feel far from finished, feel like messy works-in-progress that will never be completed, in His eyes, we are finished too. What He did on the cross completes and restores the broken parts of each of us, makes us whole and perfect in His sight. All we have to do is accept His gift. To say, like Melody did in the blog post, “When Jesus says ‘It is finished’, He is talking about me.”
Because He is.
“It is finished”
