The Message
John 19:30
"When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
Did Jesus really need to die? Yes because God says that the wages for sin is death (Romans 6:23). If you believe that, then you can truly appreciate why He died for you and I. I belong up there. That is my death that Jesus took on that cross. He has paid my debts for my past and my future sins. His final words on the cross were "it is finished" or "paid in full" (John 19:30) - it was an accounting term . The huge debt that I could not afford has now been paid. That is why this Friday is a good one. But wait, there's more...Since I didn't earn this gift that means I cannot lose it!
My Prayer
I pray that you can experience this freedom this Easter. Consider accepting this gift for yourself so you can draw closer to God. After all, that was the whole point of the cross. He wants to you know you better and has made a way for that to be possible. He is knocking and all you have to do is answer.
