\u201cIt Is Finished\u201d, (John 19:30)
\nYears ago, someone asked me how long it took me to finish a painting. My answer was this, \u201cYou never finish a painting\u2026you just come to a stopping point.\u201d Concerning all efforts on man\u2019s part, nothing can truly be said to be finished. There is always something found, even with our most careful efforts that can be done to improve our labor.
\nBut concerning the work of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross of Calvary\u2026His death to satisfy the justice of God for an everlastingly loved people\u2026His death to put away the guilt of His bride by the shedding of His blood for her\u2026HE said\u2026\u201cIt is finished.\u201d By His declaration, we know that the debt and guilt of our sins has truly been paid and put away in His precious blood. According to His word, the sins of God\u2019s chosen people shall never be brought up before God or punished again\u2026This we know because the Father accepted His sacrifice on behalf of His sheep and proved His acceptance by raising Him from the dead.

Before Moses had to stand before the throne of Pharaoh on the sinful ground of Egypt, he had to stand before The burning fire of JEHOVAH, and had to hear the ALMIGHTY \u201cI AM\u201d cry: \u201cDraw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off of thy feet, for the place wherein Thou standest is holy ground.\u201d After Moses knew the horror and terror of standing before the Holy Judge of the earth, who holds the keys of hell and death in His hands; Who is not only able to kill the body, but is able to destroy both soul and body in hell! After that\u2026he did not fear what man could do to him! Standing before Pharaoh was easy.
