“It is finished.” We don’t have to try harder, do better, be more, do more, or strive more.
“It is finished.” We don’t have to carry burdens that aren’t ours to carry, try to be someone we weren’t created to be, or work hard to try to earn God’s favor.
“It is finished.” Jesus paid our debt in full. And when God looks at us, He sees Jesus.
This is the Gospel. This is the Good News.
And there is so much freedom, joy, and REST in this. We can love others wholeheartedly and live a life that glorifies our Maker… not because we have to, but because we GET to.
This. This is Easter. Thank you, Jesus.
Blessings to you and your family. It’s been a struggle, but we went back to church this morning as a family and it was amazing. What a perfect day!
Best post ever!

Yes! Thank you Jesus! Thanks for posting this. The best message!
Amen! You said so much in so few words, and yet the words were so powerful it could have been an entire book! This is absolutely true, it is what Jesus did for our salvation. All we have to do is receive this gift and thank Christ with our lives! What an exceeding blessing, words just fail, which is why this post is profoundly important. You summed up what the cross is truly all about! We are made in the image of God. Jesus Christ redeemed our souls and gave us His mercy. Although we never deserved grace, we are so important to Jesus that He took our place and we have the honor to thank Him with every moment of our blood bought lives. Hallelujah!
Thanks so much for your encouragement!
