None!
Romans 8:1 “So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.” (TPT).
What Did Jesus “Finish” On The Cross? We can write a whole book on this. But beginning today we will look at four huge things that Jesus did on the cross, things He finished.
The first thing is Jesus Paid The Penalty and Cancelled The Debt. Read the rest of this entry
Tetelestai!
Hebrews 12:2 “Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever…” (MSG)
Jesus surrendered His life for you and I! He gave His life for you and me, He voluntarily gave up His spirit. You do not give up what is taken from you. If something is taken from you forcefully by lies, coercion, or manipulation. But none of those made Jesus give up His life. Read the rest of this entry
Three Things
John 19:28&30 “Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” …When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (emphasis added).
Three things stand out from this scripture. Number one is Jesus said, “It is finished!”. Jesus did not say I am finished. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, everyone that says you are finished will be in for a shocker because you are just about to begin. Amen! Jesus Christ finished so that you can finish.

To Finish
Matthew 11:29 “Put My yoke upon your shoulders—it might appear heavy at first, but it is perfectly fitted to your curves. Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart. When you are yoked to Me, your weary souls will find rest.” (Voice)
As we come into God’s presence today, I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that God will breathe His life upon us, teach us His Word, and change our lives for the glory of His Name. Do you ever feel like you cannot get enough done in a day or with your life? Read the rest of this entry
At The Centre
2 Corinthians 6:1 “In our work together with God, then, we beg you who have received God’s grace NOT TO LET IT BE WASTED” (GNT, emphasis added).
God wants us to centre our lives around Him (worship), learn to love His family (fellowship), cultivate spiritual maturity (discipleship), contribute something back (ministry), and tell others about His love. 2 Corinthians 5:18&20 “…Through Christ, God made peace between us and himself, Read the rest of this entry
Significance
1Peter 4:10 “God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other…” (LB, emphasis added)
God wants us to centre our lives around Him (worship), learn to love His family (fellowship), cultivate spiritual maturity (discipleship), and contribute something back (ministry). How do we serve a God that is invisible? We serve God by serving people. Read the rest of this entry
Grow & Contribute
Hebrews 5:12 “By now you should be teachers. Instead, you still need someone to teach you…!” (GW, emphasis added).
You can grow old, without growing up. There are a lot of people who have grown old, but they have not grown up. They are saved, but they are shallow. As you grow old physically and in Christ, God wants you to grow up. You have to be a life learner; you have to be a disciple. Read the rest of this entry
Love & Grow
Philippians 1:9 “I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding”
Yesterday, we looked at the first of the five areas that you and I need to focus on for the rest of our lives and have a significant life both here on earth and in heaven. The first is, God wants us to centre our lives around Him. God wants to be the centre of your life and my life. Read the rest of this entry
The Core
Mark 11:9 “Jesus was in the centre of the procession, and the people all around him were shouting, “Praise God! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Do you really want your life to be centred around your job, money, and your children? Some people want to be famous. Read the rest of this entry
First & Greatest
Matthew 22:37-38 “Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.”
Are you ready to commit the rest of your life to Jesus? Regardless of what has happened and regardless of what has gone down? Are ready to commit the rest of your life to this God, to serve Him with all your might, and all your strength? This will determine the duration and donation of your life.
