Final hours. Final words. Final acts.
They reflect a life well-lived.
Have you heard the last words of our Savior?
When on the edge of death, Jesus too got His house in order:
a confession of humanity; a cry of completion.
"Jesus said, 'I am thirsty'...When He had received the drink, Jesus said, 'It is finished.' With that, He bowed His head and gave up His spirit."
John 19:28,30
Can you imagine that cry from the cross? There was weeping. There was mocking. There is moaning from the thieves on either side of Him. Then the sky is dark. There is thunder. There is silence. "It is finished!" What was finished? The eternity-planned covenant to redeem fallen man was fulfilled. The sting of death had been removed. It was over.
Jesus said, 'It is finished.' With that, He bowed His head and gave up His spirit."
You've been prayed for today.
