It is finished.

Three words wrapped in tears.

It is finished.

Three words said in pain.

It is finished.

Three words said with a dying breath, a dying breath that was saving me.

It is finished!

Said by a Man upon a tree.

It is finished.

These three words bring me hope and peace.

It is finished.

Jesus, Son of God, looked down on the people cursing and mocking His name, saying 'Father, forgive them.'

It is finished.

Three words, said in love.

These three words, It Is Finished, are the words this Man said on that cross. He said them with me on His heart. Then they took Him down, and buried Him in a tomb.

That day, though a sad one, brings hope and joy to many.

Why?

Cause on the third day after He said these words? My Savior rose up from that grave, rolled the stone away. He defeated death for me and for you.

It is finished.

Happy Easter!
