These are Jesus' final words from the cross: "It is finished." What is finished? The salvation of all who accept Jesus as their Savior. Not only that, in the eyes of the Father we are sanctified "in Christ" which means that the righteousness of Christ is transferred to us. It will take awhile for it to get to our feet, but on the day we were saved we were also justified. This means we can be friends with God. No more separation as in the days of old. Instead, from that day we begin a new relationship with God that was never possible before. It is no longer I that live, but Christ who lives in me.
Daily Prayer: Father, allow the depth of the Cross to be understood by all of those who believe in the Son. Let it wipe away every tear and every fear of the sin that has come into the world. Let not our hearts be troubled and neither let them be afraid. Instead, let us busy our time trying to reach and tell those who don't know. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
