Mission Accomplished!


Mission Accomplished!
o   Completed!
o   Got it done!
o   It is finished!
o   Nothing more left to do.
o   Ready to be used.
o   All set.
o   Feelings of pure joy in completing a most difficult thing.
o   It is a beautiful thing.
o   Offering comfort and warmth.
o   And sure makes the recipient of this gift feel special.
o   Because people just can’t do it.
o   It is an overwhelming, too big a project to undertake.
o   It is priceless.
o   The perfect gift.
o   Anyone would love to receive it.
o   All the effort (the blood, sweat and tears) that went into it.
o   It was hard to do.
o   Hard to follow the instructions step-by-step.
o   But it got done.
o   Completed.
o   Mission accomplished.
o   It is finished.

How many of these statements could also apply to our Lord Jesus dying on the cross for our sins?

Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (John 19:28-30)

Do you think of the difficulty or the end result?
