John 19:29-30 (The Message)A jug of sour wine was standing by. Someone put a sponge soaked with the wine on a javelin and lifted it to his mouth. After he took the wine, Jesus said, "It's done . . . complete." Bowing his head, he offered up his spirit.
One of the most important and foundational truths of the Gospel.
It’s the knowledge that God has already done-completed His part. When Jesus cried “It is finished” (John 19:30), He meant just that. His work on earth was done. The atonement was complete. He provided everything we could ever need. We aren’t waiting on Him to give; He is waiting on us to receive. Any blessing you could ever need or desire from the Lord is not something to strive for, but something you already have. God made the provision before you had the need. It is just a simple matter of receiving what God has already done. The truth is that the Lord has already provided everything we will ever need, but His provision is in the spiritual realm. “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). God moves in the spiritual realm. Whether or not we see what He has done in the spiritual realm manifest in the physical realm is not dependent on Him giving, but rather on us receiving. Its like He is the transmitter and we are the receiver , it’s our reception that’s the problem.
Have A Blessed Day
