“I have glorified You on the earth: I have finished the work which You gave me to do. It is finished” (John 17:4; 19:30).
On the night before He went to the cross, the Lord Jesus spoke to His Father the words recorded in John 17. The Lord Jesus spoke of His “finishing the work” given to Him by His Father. The word He used, “finished,” gives the idea of “bringing to a close, to perform and execute something completely.” Today you and I can rejoice in the fact that we belong to the One Who has fully finished the awesome requirements to be equipped to forgive sinners and fully justify them. Whatever you are facing today, be encouraged, if you know Christ as your personal Savior. He not only finished; He won!
For today: How great it is to belong to Him. I can fully trust Him with my life and those that I love. How about you?
