God's mercies are new every morning, great is His faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
Easter
At the cross, Jesus spoke the words, ‘It is finished!’ Consequently, these ‘were’ very powerful words ever!
What exactly was finished?
Jesus life?
His ministry on earth?
The mocking and ridicule?
The frustration?
The torment?
The lack of people’s understanding?
In addition, it was all these things and so much more!
Separation from God was finished!
Our failures were finished!
And thanks to the blood of Jesus, sin . . . sin itself was finished!
Furthermore, if you’ve accepted Jesus as your savior, your sin is finished! And God sees the righteousness of Jesus when He looks at you, not your sin. This can be hard for our human mind to grasp, but, thankfully, it doesn’t take away from the truth of it. 💗
So we pray from now on each time you hear the words, ‘It is finished!’ you will remember Jesus died for all of it; guilt, shame, unworthiness, sadness, depression, addictions, loneliness, feeling unloved, all of it!
Also, when (not if) these feelings come against you, you will address each one head on by speaking out loud,
”Unworthiness! Because of Jesus, you are finished!!” “Depression! Because of Jesus, you are finished!!” “Feeling unloved! Because of Jesus, you are finished!!”
Sin, death and the powers of the world were defeated!
Once for all.
“Once” is the keyword here. Jesus didn’t have to die over and over and over.
Remember, He died once and once was enough.
Finally, Jesus sincerely loves you just the way you are. Therefore, we can cast our burdens onto him. He overcame the world just for YOU.
