It Is Finished!

JOHN 19:28-30 

28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled,Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

It is that time we call Easter. We have all enjoyed the holiday and the chocolate. But Easter is more than a holiday or a "Holy-day". It is about Jesus.This may not meaning anything to you so lets look at who JESUS was and what his life was all about.

Jesus was a good man who was put to death. He was however, more than just a man, He was and is the Son of God. He is the the one who came down to earth from heaven, from eternity into time. He Came to show us as Humans the way. He lived a sinless life. Yes. Jesus lived a life without sin. Jesus was a real person, who went through REAL things. He was beaten, whipped, wounded, spat on, mocked, his skin ripped off him and in this weakened condition he was made to carry a heavy wooden cross  which he was then nailed to and crucified. 

God Shed his blood for us. Me you and we were all bought with a price. If we bring this back to the modern day world, If you go to a shop, there is a transaction that takes place before you have officially bought that item. This is what Jesus did. Jesus Christ came to rescue/save us.

Now you may ask, what does it mean when He said "It is Finished". In the Jewish language, the words "It is finished" in the Jewish language mean "Paid in full". 

Yes, Jesus died for us, Yes he was buried but yes he is ALIVE. 

Amazing isn't it...

DON'T ACCEPT IT!

A few weeks Ago my Pastor PREACHED such a great messaged titled:

 "Don't Accept it" Based on Mark 10:46-52.

You often find that people come into a country with their same old thinking, and although they may be highly intelligent or very skilled , their mindset remains the same causing them to work in lower paid jobs. There needs to be a radical mind change so that those who have qualifications and other skills aren't working in low paid jobs.

Proverbs 4:24- Reads: Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.

Most of us believe something wrong about ourselves. Although we may look good on the outside, and have cute clothes on, we still think bad about ourselves. Whether its that you think you cant do something or cant have what some else has we think something wrong about ourselves. But we need to realize that the problem isn't always the Devil... Why? Because Jesus already defeated him! The problem is with our thinking.

We  as humans often like to deal with Symptoms. So, if you are depressed you will be given anti-depressants to deal with the symptom. However, 4 hours later those symptoms return and you need to take more medication because we are dealing with symptoms and not the root CAUSE. But the Bible deals with causes. We need to get to the root to of the problem.

You may be unhappy and you don't "feel" that anyone or anything is helping you, but the problem is not with anyone but yourself and your thinking. Stop looking for someone or something to blame and just...

....Don't Accept it....

Wherever you are from you are shaped. If you come from a house that never taught you positive things, you are shaped and grow up to think  that certain way. That's why you find adults cant cope with certain things. 

Lets look at these few examples:

Your past: For example a 40 year old women cant have any peace with her husband. Realize that the problem didn't start when she was 40  but it could of started deep in her childhood and she never dealt with it. 

Stereotypes:  Many of us may be down there because of the labels teachers may have put on you or the Names that people gave you.  At times we try to act like everything is OK, but we let the lies and stereotypes that people put on us shape us. 

Look at the woman with the issue  of blood (Mark 5:25-34).Think of the fact that this woman was dying and weak because she was bleeding so much but she had made up in her mind that she was gonna push her way through the thick crowd and touch the the hem of Jesus' garment. 

There are some things that no doctor, psychologist or any person can fix but only God can fix it! Nothing will change in your life until you make up in your mind that you want change!

...Don't Accept It...

Everybody is in love with something. Most of the stuff that we are in-love with is WRONG. If God tells you to let go of something it just means that He has something BETTER for you. But because you don't THINK well of yourself you just accept and settle for the less. We are also way to concerned with IMAGE. We read magazines, books and watch shows to try and create our won image.  But if you read GEN1:26, you can really find out who you really are and don't need anyone to validate you! 

Gods word is medicine. You CHOOSE to take it.

God has something that we need but we want him to always come down and do everything but Jesus says whatever you need... come to me. Gods Word is there to make you better just like medicine.....                                        

(There is even more to this AMAZING life changing teaching but I couldn't possible let you into it all, so.... you will have to buy the CD)
