2. The Word of Victory
John 19:30
"So when Jesus had received the
sour wine, He said, “It is
finished!”
Are you struggling to win today?
Do you feel like you try, and try, and try, but never get ahead?
Have you ever looked back on your life and felt like a failure, like you just never quite measured up?
Beloved friend, may I tell you today, that the eternal victory has already been won, and YOU are the recipient of the glory.
The Victory is Won! It is finished!
Listen.....
Jesus came to do
the will of the Father who sent Him.
Jesus came to bring many people to glory
through the way of the cross.
Jesus came to give everlasting life to everyone who sees the Son and
believes in Him.
Jesus came to die so that the
resurrection of life might be accomplished for those who will die with Him.
In John chapter 6:37-40 the words of Christ are recorded,
"All that the Father gives
Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast
out. For I have come down from
heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I
should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is
the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in
Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
In life Jesus revealed God.
In the cross Jesus covered sin.
In sin Jesus bore the full wrath
of God.
In death, Jesus gave life.
In the tomb, Jesus defeated death.
In glory Jesus reigns supreme.
Beloved, no one or no thing will
ever add to, or take away from what Jesus has done for you.
Isn't that a great relief? The victory is won and with Jesus we are the recipients of the victors crown.
Praise God, it is finished!
