The cry of the dying Saviour, “It is finished!” as... - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

This man (Christ), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever sat down at the right hand of God. For by one offering he has perfected for ever those who are being sanctified.
Hebrews 10:12.14

The cry of the dying Saviour, "It is finished!" as we read in the gospel of John announces full salvation. The insurmountable cleft between sinful man and our holy God was finally bridged at the cross.

This cry also confirms God's acceptance of the atoning death of His Son on the cross by His raising Him from among the dead. God shows that, on His side, all has been accomplished, then has salvation preached and waits for our response. Each one of us must decide:

Is it doubt that hinders me, possibly under a cloak of humility, but in the final instance proves to be distrust of God?

Or is it pride that refuses to be subject to God?

Is my response presumptuousness - wanting to validate my good intentions and efforts before God, assuming that the work of Christ is insufficient?

Is it indifference? Many are so absorbed in momentary problems that they lose any sense of guilt before God. So, not wishing to commit themselves, they postpone making a decision.

Or have I truly the faith to simply accept God's verdict on us and what He states concerning Christ - faith that is subject to God, and brings forth worship with thanksgiving?
