He Is Wonderful

“It is finished.”
- JOHN 19:30
Those were the last words Jesus said before He breathed His last.

It is done. It is fulfilled. It is accomplished. Indeed, He had fulfilled His life on earth. He showed people the right ways of living. He served and taught God’s words, so that it may live on until today. He was a perfect example of unconditional love and mercy.

He fulfilled them all, but the greatest of His accomplishments on earth was none other than His death. How wonderful it is for someone to give up His life for us. To suffer great pain, greater than any man could ever suffer, not because he deserved it, but because he chose to. By dying on the cross, He bore all our sins, offering us a forgiveness that gave us new life. Salvation.

Sometimes I wonder if any of us are even deserving of all that He sacrificed for us. I know myself and I know that I’m not perfect. I’ve sinned and have disappointed Him many times. But the amazing thing about Jesus is that, He still did it. He still gave up His life because He loved us all that much.

Beautiful, that’s what Jesus is. And truly, there is just no greater love than what He showed us.

The Holy Week has always connoted itself as being sad and gloomy days. We’ve all been used to that. But I reckon we should also remember that we’re supposed to be thankful as well. Jesus saved us from our sins, so we should be happy. Because of Him, we are free. ^^;;

Have a blessed Holy Week, everyone! =)
