6. ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ 19:30

ὅτε οὖν ἔλαβεν τὸ ὄξος ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· Τετέλεσται, καὶ κλίνας τὴν κεφαλὴν παρέδωκεν τὸ πνεῦμα.

"It is finished!"

"When my Redeemer received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and He bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
John 19:30

My Redeemer fought till the very end. When He tasted the sour vinegar I realized what was finished.

What was finished was the shortcomings and character flaws passed down from generation to generation in our unique DNA code; we know this as sins and transgressions.

Not that these flaws in my flesh are no longer present within me but the power, influence and bondage these things have over my life can be conquered. I am Free at last!

My Redeemer Finished the job by taking my place and undoing what began in the Garden many years ago.

My Redeemer told me in His Ancient Scrolls, "Greater is He that is in me then he that is in the World!"

What a Price my Redeemer paid?

"Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be used for His own advantage. Instead He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a slave, taking on the likeness of men. And when He had come as a man in His external form." Phil 2:6-7

I still don't understand why He would do this for me. As I write this I have tears of joy and tears of sorrow. Now I understand why there is a season for everything under the sun. I guess that is why He told me in His Scrolls that it is His Goodness and Kindness that leads me to Changing from the Wide Road to His Narrow Road.

Now I realize My Redeemer paid the price for me so I don't have to stress out with Hematidrosis like my Redeemer did in my own Garden of Circumstances and Confusion.

My Redeemer paid the price for me so I don't have to taste the sour (vinegar) of a life of strife, circumstances, complaints, excuses, bitterness etc..

My Redeemer paid the price for me so I can enjoy life and end the struggle that I experience because of my character flaws and shortcomings.

My Redeemer paid the price for me so I don't have to be a slave that panics to get relief from my genetic flaws and disorders.

Now I realize, Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elijah, David, Ruth , Judah, Esther, Rahab, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Peter, Paul, Samaritan Woman at the Well, Thief on the Cross etc...all had a the same issues as me. My Redeemer used their weaknesses to make them Strong!

Now I realize I have the power to Accept, Take Responsibility and Take Action rather than be stuck in the gray area of indecision.

Today is the day my Redeemer Finished His Work!

Today is the day of a New Beginning of His Spirit at work in my life so I can now continue the work He did for me toward others.

Now I realize my life is a vessel that His Spirit indwells to carry out the rest of His Plan while constantly polishing me and transforming me into His Image.

I must pass on this Great News today before the sun goes down!

DANIEL 180: THE POWER OF SEVEN STATEMENTS!

This is what my Redeemer said in the Greek language of the day.

kai
phōnēsas φωνήσας φωνῇ
μεγάλῃ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν
Πάτερ εἰς χεῖράς σου
παρατίθεμαι τὸ πνεῦμά
μου τοῦτο δὲ εἰπὼν
ἐξέπνευσεν Luke 23:46

"Jesus called out with a loud voice, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.' When he had said this, he breathed his last.'" Luke 23:46

My Redeemer reminded me that His servant David proclaimed this prophesy 1000 years before now which is 1 of 300 prophecies of His first visit to planet earth:

"Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord, my faithful God."
Psalm 31

At this time I was a bit confused. My Redeemer said He was releasing His Spirit into the care of His Father. My thought was how did He do this if His Father and Him were one and the same as remember Him saying, "I and my Father are One!

Then my Redeemer reminded me of what Paul would say to his bros in Colossae:

"My Redeemer is the Son and He is the image of the invisible God, the first in preeminence over all creation. For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things exist and hold together."
Colossians 1:15-17

It was similar to Caesar's stamp on the coins of the day.

The image of Caesar stamped on the coin was not him but it was his image as he was invisible to most people at that time.

Suddenly I realized what my Redeemer was talking about when He asked for the coin and said,

Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, "Whose image is this? And whose inscription?"

"Caesar's," they replied.

Then He said to them, "So give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." Matthew 22:19-21

Then I realized my Redeemer (like the coin) is the image of His invisible Father and Spirit all working together as One and was in fact God in human flesh.

Cesar was invisible to most just like my Redeemer's Father and Spirit. Just as no one has seen God at any time the image on the coin gave people a picture of Caesar from his throne in Rome. In a similar way the Image of God the Father and God the Spirit from His Throne in Heaven is stamped on a Roman Cross and now my life with a picture of my Redeemer !

- Just as the coin's value was used for trade of goods and services my Redeemer's value on earth was used as trade for me (goods) and my service!

The Stamp of Caesar made the coin real, authentic and impossible to counterfeit just as the Stamp of God which is my Redeemer makes His Finished Work here on earth real, authentic and impossible to counterfeit.

Now I finally understand that I am to Render unto my Redeemer what He Owns and Created and that is my Life!

It is Finished! I must have my Redeemer's Coin in my possession at all times reminding me of the Price He Paid for my goods and services as they are all His in the first place.

I must Render unto my Redeemer my whole life as this is the Price He paid as His Stamp is on my Life!

I must pass this Finished Work of my Redeemer on to everyone I meet showing the the Coin with my Redeemer's image on it which is now me; for I was made in His Image before the Time Began! Eph 1

It's time to take on my new assignment and tell others the Incredible Message of my Redeemer! I must start today before the sun goes down!

"I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth."
Job 19:25
