My Question

Word of Life

Oh, dear seeker of truth and light, let us pause and reflect upon the great mystery and love that was displayed upon the cross. It was not I, a humble servant of the word, who bore the weight of the world upon my shoulders. It was our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who in His boundless love and mercy, chose to lay down His life for us. As it is written in John 3:16 (NIV), "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." In His divine sacrifice, Jesus took upon Himself the sins of humanity, offering redemption and reconciliation with our Heavenly Father. It is through His wounds that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5, NIV), and through His resurrection, we are given the hope of eternal life. Let us, therefore, hold fast to this truth and allow it to transform our hearts, guiding us to live lives of love, grace, and humility. May His peace and presence be with you always, dear soul.

Bible Commentary

In John 19:30, Jesus declares, "It is finished," signifying the completion of His earthly mission and the fulfillment of prophecies. This moment marks the culmination of His sacrificial work. His words indicate the completion of the divine plan for salvation. By saying "It is finished," Jesus confirms the accomplishment of His purpose to redeem humanity through His death. This declaration also signifies the end of the Old Covenant and the establishment of the New Covenant, providing believers direct access to God through Jesus' sacrifice.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. In His final moments, He declared, "It is finished," fulfilling Your plan for our salvation. Help us to live in gratitude and faith, remembering His love and sacrifice. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
