Hi Folks,
I hope you had a wonderful, Resurrection weekend!
We are gong to continue with Resurrection devots. for a little while. I found some neat ones:)
This devot. focuses on the last moment's of Jesus life, His final words, "It is Finished."
Isaiah 53:10 says," Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,..."
When Jesus said this words moments before His death, what He was saying was that His death paid the price of the sins of mankind and was God's way of paying for our way to Heaven.
There was nothing else that needed to be done to pay for our way to Heaven. IT IS FINISHED!
I also have a note in my Bible from an Easter sermon I heard saying that when Jesus cried out the words, "It Is Finished," 'It was a victory cry from the cross. A message for Satan and his ears. Satan had lost and his future was doomed. He must have shuttered when he heard Jesus' cry!'
1 Corinthians 15:64-67 shows us that Jesus' death proved He had power and victory over sin, hell and the grave. The previous verses to the passage below explain that some day, when we get to Heaven, our mortal bodies will be changed to immortal-we will get a new, and perfect body in Heaven!
"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Our passage below is the one used for the devot. and I have also included a neat song link called Mercy Tree. I have also included simple directions for finding our devot. Lord bless you and yours this week!
John 19:28-30, "After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
Devot.
