Today I'm writing this on Good Friday and I’m reminded of Jesus’ words on the cross, “It Is finished” (John 19: 30). Those 3 words are probably the most powerful words he ever spoke during his time here on Earth.
I believe what Jesus was saying to us is this. “While my time on Earth as a man is finished, I’m really just getting started.” Getting started with what? He’s telling us that these are the things he just getting started:
- Getting started with a plan for salvation
- Getting started with showing what it means to be human and the need for suffering
- Getting started with a lifetime of forgiveness for all of our sins
- Getting started with showing us how to forgive others
- Getting started with showing us an unending mercy
- Getting started with showing us the way home
- Getting started healing the brokenness inside of us
- Getting started leading us to others who don’t know who he even is
- Getting started teaching us what it truly means to follow him
- Getting started showing us what was behind the veil that was torn in two when he died on the cross!
