Jesus spoke these words right before He gave up His spirit and died. His work was done. Redemption had been won. (to quote a Petra song) Jesus had now paid the price for our sins.
It Is Finished for You, Too.
All that needed to be done to accomplish your salvation is finished as well. We don’t add anything to the work of Jesus on the cross. Our sacrifices and acts of love, while wonderful and good for our neighbor, add nothing to our salvation.
It is finished for you which means you can rest in Your salvation.
Today, there is no ending question or suggestion of something you can do other than to reflect on the wonderful, amazing grace of God which has won your salvation.
Dear Jesus,
You have paid the price that was mine to pay, but which I could never have paid. Thank you. My salvation is in You and You alone.
Amen.
