“It Is Finished!”
I heard this story by The Gathers during an interview on TBN.
They told of an old Baptist Evangelist, whose name I did not catch, that Jerry
Falwell really loved. This evangelist gave a message called “It Is Finished!” that
was heard by the Gathers. This caused them to write a song about it was called “It
Is Finished!”
As told by the evangelist as best as I understood what the
Gathers said: A drop of blood and sweat dripped from JESUS’ face to the ground
at the base of the cross when JESUS proclaimed; “It Is Finished!” the drop
landed on a blade of grass and proclaimed, “It Is Finished!” A bird swooped
down and plucked the blade of grass and the blade of grass proclaimed, “It Is
Finished!” The bird flew to the top of a tall tree and proclaimed, “It Is Finished!”
The tall tree proclaimed to the heavens, “It Is Finished!” The Heavens proclaimed
to all creation, “It Is Finished!” There was an earthquake in Jerusalem, the
rocks split and the graves opened proclaiming, “It Is Finished!” In The Temple, The Veil was torn in two from
top to bottom proclaiming, “It Is Finished!”
If you do not understand what “It Is Finished!” means for you
and the world then you must read the 4 Gospels of The Bible. They tell the
story of GOD’s Love for all humanity, whom He created in His Own Image. How
JESUS as a man not born of a man but of GOD lived a sinless life as a man so that He could go to the cross in the
place of every human being ever conceived, to take upon Himself the eternal
punishment of our sins and restore our relationship with GOD as it was in the
beginning.
Since JESUS fulfilled GOD’s purpose for His Life as a man and
proclaimed, “It Is Finished!” we are now able to repent (stop sinning) and live
our life for GOD Who is our Heavenly Father! JESUS said that knowing our
Heavenly Father and His Son JESUS is “Eternal Life!”
