It is Finished

What did Jesus mean when He said “It Is Finished?”

God had a plan when Jesus went to the cross. The plan was to remove everything and anything that could ever separate you from the love of God. When Jesus gave up his spirit, that plan was finished and completed forever.

On the cross, Jesus (the second Adam) restored to you the same perfect innocence the first Adam had in the garden. He remained on the cross long enough to receive all the judgment you will ever earn.
There is nothing you can ever do to atone for your sins.
They were taken away and you can never have them back.
There is no longer any separation between you and God.
There is no day of judgment in your future.
There is no day of reckoning coming.
You have been made one with God.
The veil was removed.
It is finished.

God is not disappointed with you.
He is not angry at you.
He is not upset by anything you’ve done.
He is only delighted with you.
He is filled with wonder when He sees you.
You have been made perfect in his eyes.
You are His treasure today and tomorrow.
It is finished.

On the cross, Jesus defeated sickness and death once and for all.
Everything required for you to raise the dead and heal the sick was accomplished.
Everything needed to heal your emotions was done.
He gave sight to the blind and healed the brokenhearted.
He bore your griefs and carried away your sorrows.
By His stripes you were healed.
It is finished.

There is nothing you can do that will ever make you more respected in the eyes of God than you are right now.
There is no need for you to strive to impress Him.
All that was needed to make you a king in His house was done.
All that was required to restore your divine identity was accomplished.
When He died, your old nature died with Him.
When He was raised, you were raised with Him.
When He ascended, you ascended with Him.
He is seated in the heavens at the right hand of God and so are you.
You have already been crowned with glory.
It is finished.

So stop striving.
Don’t be stressed.
Don’t listen to the lies that say you are anything less than a cherished and greatly loved child of the eternal Father.
Rest in His absolute and overwhelming love for you.

It is finished.
