The Work Of His All-Inclusive Death Finished

The Work Of His All-Inclusive Death Finished

THE WORK OF HIS ALL-INCLUSIVE DEATH FINISHED

John 19:30 says, "When Jesus then had taken the vinegar, He said, It is finished! And He bowed His head and gave up the spirit." The Lord worked continually until He was put on the cross (John 5:17). But even in His crucifixion the Lord was still working. How do we know that He was still working on the cross? Because before He died He said, "It is finished!" While He was being cru­ cified, He was still working for the redemption of sinners, for the destruction of the serpent, for the release of the divine life, and for the accom­ plishment of God's eternal purpose. At the last minute, after everything had been accomplished, He declared to the whole universe, "It is fin­ ished!" Then He died and entered into rest. Praise the Lord Jesus! Only He could do this. Through His crucifixion, He finished the work of His all-inclusive death by which He accomplished redemption, terminated the old creation, and released His resurrection life to bring forth the new creation to fulfill God's purpose. In the proc­ ess of death, He proved to His opposers and His believers by the way He behaved that He was life. The dreadful environment of death did not

frighten Him in the least. Rather, it provided a contrast which proved strongly that He was life versus death, a life which could not be affected by death in any way.
