I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.
- John 17:4 (NKJV)
Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer.
In this verse He was preparing for His betrayal, knowing that He would soon die to fulfill the prophecies that had been spoken.
In the time He spent on Earth, He did everything that His Father asked, even though some of those things were unpleasant.
The worst of the unpleasantness was yet to come.
Jesus finished the work on Earth that God had given Him.
In the lyrics of the song It Is Finished by Passion Music we hear these words:
The cross is my beginning
The line drawn in the sand
The end of all my striving
Now I am born again
There, Jesus was forsaken
So I will never be
His grace is my salvation
The gift of God, the work of Calvary
It is done, it is finished
Christ has won, He is risen
Grace is here
Love has triumphed over death forever
The cross needs no addition
His mercy is complete
His love is not in question
The Son of God has spoken over me
...
Strongholds bowing to the Savior
Resurrection power over every circumstance
His word stands final and forever
It will not be shaken, He alone has won it all
...
It is done, it is finished
Mercy won, I'm forgiven
Sing His name, He is worthy of our praise, Jesus
He has won, He has won
Oh, He is worthy of our praise
Oh, Jesus, oh, Jesus
We sing your praise forever
It is done.
Because of His sacrifice we are forgiven and free.
Don’t forget the sacrifice He made for us.
