After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (John 19:28-30 ESV) This was it. It is finished. No more guilt. No more condemnation. No more sacrifice. You are free. You are welcome. You can be who God always intended you to be. Let’s reflect on that and consider the implications of “it” being finished once and for all.
