DAILY READINGS: Deut. 18:9 to 19:21; Joel 1; Luke 11:37-54
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished:
and He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost. John 19:30
This was a cry of triumph from the victor, not a cry of defeat from a
victim! All was complete. Prophetic writings concerning His suff erings
had been fulfi lled. The price for sin had been fully and utt erly
paid and none other would be necessary forever. Done is the work
that saves, once and forever done! Praise God there will never have
to be another Calvary. Are you resting in this fi nished work today?
—John M. Clegg
Done is the work that saves, once and for ever done;
Finished the righteousness, that clothes the unrighteous one,
The love that blesses us below, is fl owing freely to us now. —Horatius Bonar
