“It is Finished!”(John 19:30)

This is Jesus in His glory King of heaven, dying for me

IT IS FINISHED! He has done it! Death is beaten! Heaven beckons me!

This is Jesus in His glory King of heaven, dying for me

IT IS FINISHED! He has done it! Death is beaten! Heaven beckons me!

This is Jesus in His glory King of heaven, dying for me

IT IS FINISHED! He has done it! Death is beaten! Heaven beckons me!

5 So when Jesus came into the world, He said, Sacrifices and offerings

were not what You wanted, but instead a body that You prepared for Me.

6 Burnt offerings and sin offerings were not what pleased You.

7 Then I said, “See, I have come to do Your will, God,

as it is inscribed of Me in the scroll of the book.”

Hebrews 10:5-18 !(The Voice)

8 Now when it says that God doesn’t want and takes no real pleasure in sacrifices,

burnt offerings, and sin offerings (even though the law calls for them),

9 and follows this with “See, I have come to do Your will,” He effectively takes away the first

—animal sacrifice— in order to establish the second,

more perfect sacrifice. 10 By God’s will, we are made holy !

through the offering of the body of Jesus, !the Anointed, once and for all time.

11 In the first covenant, every day every officiating priest stands at his post serving,

offering over and over those same sacrifices that can never take away sin.

12 But after Jesus stepped up to offer His single sacrifice for sins for all time, !

He sat down in the position of honor at the right hand of God.

13 Since then, He has been waiting for the day when He rests His feet on His enemies’ backs,

as the psalm says. 14 With one perfect offering, Jesus has

perfected forever those who !are being made holy,

15 as the Holy Spirit keeps testifying to us through the prophet Jeremiah. After he says,

16 “But when those days are over,” says the Eternal One, “I will make

this kind of covenant with the people of Israel: I will put My laws in their hearts

and write them upon their minds,” then He adds,

17 “I will erase their sins and wicked acts !out of My memory!

as though they had never existed.”!18 When there is forgiveness such as this, there is

no longer any need to make an offering for sin.

Hebrews 10:17-18!(The Mirror)

!

“This is final: I have deleted the record of your sins and misdeeds.

I no longer recall them. Sins were dealt with in such a thorough manner

that no further offerings would ever again be required.

Nothing that we can personally sacrifice could add further virtue to our innocence.”

We believe in Him who raised from the dead our Lord Jesus who was handed over to death for our sins and raised to life for our justification. So then, now that we have been justified by faith, we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. It is through Him, by faith, that we have been admitted into God’s favor in which we are living! !

Romans 4:25-5:2

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.2 Peter 1:4

“You will do even greater works than me!”

(John 14:12)

Unconditional Graceby Susan Fochler

“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Is. 55:1 ESV

Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy?Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in rich food. Is. 55:2

Why do you spend your money on junk food, your hard-earned cash on cotton candy?

Is 55 MSG

“Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live, and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. !

Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.

We have a hard time receiving that which is unearned, undeserved and beyond understanding

!

8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.     “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth so my ways are higher than your ways

and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

!

We can’t fix, self-help, numb, entertain, busy or medicate ourselves enough to satisfy the yearning of our souls. We are hard-wired for communion with the One who is the source of all Life; only He in His unconditional flow of Infinite Love are we fully met and satiated.

We want to make sense of receiving what is too good to be true, too generous to be measured, too beyond reach to attain. And yet, it is ours simply for the asking: eternal, abundant life.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ---by grace you have been saved---and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus...and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God...

Eph 2:4-6, 9,10

“This is my body given for you.” !

“This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.”
