#Romans 5:8
Text
Tetelestai
This word is what's translated as "completed" in John 19:28 and "It is finished" in John 19:30. These are the only times this word is used in the Bible, and it means that something is done, and done forever. It can't be undone, in the same way that if you complete a race you can't unrun it, or if you bake a cake you can't unbake it.
Tetelestai is also the word that was written on receipts in New Testament times to indicate that the amount owed was paid in full.
We don't have to bear the separation from God that our sin causes. We don't have to bear the punishment we so richly deserve. Jesus paid our debt. He took it all on himself because he loves us.
He is God, and he loves us.
(It boggles my mind to think about - I'm like David, sitting down and saying in complete bewilderment, "who am I, that you would do this?")
The forces of evil cannot undo what Jesus did on the cross. We cannot earn or add to what Jesus did on the cross.
Tetelestai.
It is finished.

“But God has shown us how much he loves us—it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!”
—Romans 5:8 (GNT)
Friend, if you need to hear this today: when you don't feel that anyone in this world loves you, there is someone who loves you so much that He died to know you. You will NEVER be unloved. Amen! 🙌

A Saturday Meditation Between Horror and Glory
Mis-named or Perfectly Named?
Yesterday, in the mis-named/perfectly named, Good Friday, we reminded ourselves of the price of our redemption. Today we remind ourselves of the utter loneliness and suffering of the early disciples. On Saturday, their vision of the greatness of the sacrifice was obscured by the pain of their loss, and un-ameliorated by the glory of what would happen on Sunday…

I Will -- With All My Heart
I Will — With All My Heart
Many years ago, I stood at an altar as Rev. Herbert Wuerch said these words: “Will you love him all the days of your life?” That was a serious question and as a young bride, I had no idea the journey that would be ahead. I would be replying to not just my soon-to-be father-in-law and my soon-to-be husband, but I was saying “I will” to God. And I really meant it. Loving each other all the days of…

(I know it's Thursday!) We're all human and we will fail (because we're human) and it's good to be reminded that our failures will never make God love us less. You are loved by God! Amen! 🙌

The Roman Road: It will Take You to Amazing Places
The Roman Road: It will Take You to Amazing Places
The Roman Road system was an amazing accomplishment in the ancient world, and it allowed people to travel all over Europe. The zealous Pharisee, Saul of Tarsus, was traveling on such a road from Jerusalem to Damascus when he had a life-changing experience.
In the Book of Acts, Dr. Luke describes it like this: “But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went…
