John 19:30 (NIV)
30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Few weeks ago, I received a text message from one of our young people in our church. After reading her text message, GOD reminded me the last words Jesus have spoken before he gave up His Spirit, “It is finished.”

Wow! Despite of the physical pains Jesus got from the Roman soldiers, He kept on going till He died on the cross. He faithfully carried out the mission the Father gave Him. His goal is to die on the cross and pay the price for the sins of the world by His blood and save us from eternal death. But what if He decided to stop and pass it to others instead? Definitely no one is willing and worthy to accept that mission and nothing will be accomplished. There will be no salvation too.

Everyone of us has goals in life. There are no shortcuts in fulfilling these goals; there must be sacrifice involved. And when there is sacrifice, there is pain too. Let’s do not stop in pursuing our goals in life especially if it’s for GOD’s glory. There is no success and self fulfillment for an unfinished project. Our eternal goal is to get the eternal prize - the eternal life through the blood of Jesus Christ. GOD is faithful to His promises. He will surely reward those who are faithful and obedient to GOD’s commandments.

Let’s keep on moving with the wisdom He is giving us everyday and with the help of the Holy Spirit till we succeed and then celebrate by shouting “It is finished!”
