It is Finished

Today, the earth is still. The heavens mourn.

Today, we remember the moment history split in two—because of love.

Good Friday isn’t just about what happened to Jesus.

It’s about what He chose to carry—for you. For me.

He didn’t flinch when the nails pierced His hands.

He didn’t turn away when the weight of sin crushed His body.

He stayed.

He bore the shame, the guilt, the brokenness… so we wouldn’t have to.

“It is finished.”

Three words that still echo through eternity.

Not words of defeat—but declaration. Completion. Triumph.

Because He suffered, I can stand.

Because He was wounded, I can be healed.

Because He died, I can live again.

At the cross, my Savior bore it all—so I could see another day.

And how dare we take that for granted?

How dare we treat the cross as a side note when it’s the very reason we have breath in our lungs and hope in our hearts?

Good Friday calls us to remember.

To return to the sacred.

To pause and bow low.

Not just in sorrow—but in reverence.

Because what looked like death was really the doorway to life.

So today, I lay it all at the cross.

My burdens. My questions. My pain. My praise.

Because if Jesus could endure that, then surely He is worthy of my everything.

It is finished… but His glory has only just begun.

    Amen. Thank you for this. So many of us forget what this day is truly about—how Jesus had to carry His own cross and be hung on it, with nails piercing His hands. How is that even possible without Him flinching?

    What came to my mind while reading this, especially when you mentioned “still,” is that sometimes when we’re going through pain or hardship, and everything in us wants to react or flinch, we need to be still and remember Jesus on that cross—enduring unimaginable pain for us. He already fought our battles.
