It Is Finished

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Apr 18, 2003

Good Friday Meditation: Christ cried out, "It is finished," from the Cross. Our Lord shouldered the burden of sin and ’dealt with it.’ Jesus finished the work of redeemption and, as a result, we are assured of the Father’s forgiveness.

“It is finished!” Was Jesus just relieved that the agony was over? Was He simply saying that, after enduring so much pain and torment – that it was finally over – that the suffering had ended. After all, Jesus must’ve been glad that now, death would bring peace and rest. After all, when a person ...read more

Personal Integrity - Life Of David, Part 4 Series

Contributed by Joey Nelson on May 5, 2006

Are We Following Jesus Or Not?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 4, 2006

Jesus was on the road to the cross with all that came with it - rejection and suffering. His call to follow him is absolute and he calls us to 100% commitment. This short sermon challenges us to follow him in everything we do, all of the time.

Luke 9: 57-62 Have you ever been quoted out of context? Have you ever been misunderstood? Jesus was often misunderstood, and when we hear these shocking words from the life of Jesus we are reminded that following him requires us to always follow, and not to dip in and out of following him.

Seven Words From Calvary

Contributed by Monte Brown on Jan 25, 2007

Jesus spoke seven statements from the Cross-, each statement showing a different aspect of Calvary’s function. The first three statements (which we call "words") were spoken before Jesus entered the court of God:

The justice of God was satisfied at Calvary when Christ paid the penalty for our sins on the Cross. The mercy of God was satisfied at Calvary because we did not have to suffer the penalty of sin, a penalty we so richly deserved. Jesus spoke seven statements from the Cross-, each statement showing ...read more

Prayer, Power, And Personal Problems Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 2, 2003

Many of our interpersonal problems are actually personal, the resulting of feeling weak. Paul’s strategy was to pray for those with whom he had conflict, and that helped him become whole. The cross demonstrates the power of weakness. For Reformation Su

God's Final Word To Sin And Death

Contributed by Kenneth Roberts on Mar 20, 2008

The last word Jesus spoke from the cross, as John records it in his Gospel, was the word: "Tetelestai", "It is finished." At the time of his death, the place where he spoke that word was not a pretty sight. But through the centuries the beauty and power

It was not a pretty sight. Made of roughly hewn wood and splattered with human blood after having served its gory purpose, the cross was anything but beautiful. It symbolized worldly secular power brutishly exercised over any perceived foreign evil that might threaten Rome. It was a place of ...read more
