Scripture Study: The Significance of Christ First and Last Words to Man…

14 Jul

Luke 2:49, “And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”

John 19:30, “So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.”

The recorded first words of Jesus Christ begin with Him saying He is about his Father’s business and last are “It is finished.” Jesus came to Earth on a very significant mission and that was to preach the good news of the Gospels and to be our sin atonement (Luke 24:46-48), not to condemn mankind but to save it. The awesome significance between these two scriptures is that the redemption process in Him is complete. The remission of sins is finished (Matthew 26:28), our forgiveness is finished (1 John 1:9), and we are in good standing with YAH (Romans 3:24). In Jesus’ final act of love, his sacrifice redeemed everyone who believes in the power of the cross.

There is no  need to add to what Christ has done or take away from the Gospels, just believe in Jesus Christ finished work for redemption. “It is finished,’ Shalom…
