FINISHED

“It is finished.” These words our Lord uttered with a loud voice, as He gave up His life on the cross, having finished the work which God had given Him to accomplish on the earth. That law which man, in his selfish depravity, had transgressed and clothed with dishonor, Christ had, according to the prophecy (Isa. 42:21), magnified and made honorable, and placed man in such relation to it that he might be prepared to stand before its claims in the great day, and be judged accordingly. James 2:12. These words are to be heard again. The Lord, when His intercessory work is done, will declare from the throne of His glory, “It is done.” The first was heard in the long ago, when He opened the path of life to the millions of our race, who were doomed to suffering and death. What grace has begun, glory will finish. The Lord will leave no incomplete work. The second cry, as a complement to the first, will be heard in due time, and His servants will enter into His glory.
