It Is Finished

“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures...” 1 Corinthians 15:3-5

“It is finished.” These are the words that Jesus uttered when He was dying on the cross.

What did they mean? They are some of the most wonderful words spoken in the history of the world. Jesus had completed His mission; He was dying on the cross. Jesus took the sins of all mankind and He paid the penalty so that you and I, when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, could be forgiven. We could go free!

So for us this is wonderful news. No longer do we need to be under the burden of sin. It is finished! No longer do we need to serve evil. It is finished! No longer do we need to fear death. It is finished! No longer do we need to face the penalty of hell as judgment for our sins. It is finished! All we must do is sincerely repent of our sins and ask Jesus Christ to come into our lives as our Savior and Lord. Let us live for Him to the glory of God in the power of the Holy Spirit!

Jesus Christ went to the cross. He paid the penalty for our sins. God loves us so much that He did not hold back His one and only Son from us. How could we not love and serve Him?

So, this Good Friday and all week as we honor our Lord and Savior, let us pray and

• Thank Jesus Christ for dying on the cross for our sins
• Ask God to save someone we know who does not know Jesus Christ
• Thank God for His wonderful blessings in our lives and most of all the gift of eternal life

THANK YOU so much for your prayers for Global Media Outreach and our ministry as we try to give the entire world the good news of Jesus Christ. It is finished! God has done the most wonderful work. Now we have the great privilege of sharing this wonderful news with others around the world.

May God bless you,
