John 19, Psalm 119

His-story (history)   was set in motion the day God spoke the word and this speck in the universe called Earth was formed.  Each piece of the story that we read fits perfectly in a design that culminates into Jesus' last words -- "It is finished "  (John 19:30)  The mission our Father sent Jesus on was completed but His-story didn't end. Yes, on that day the veil was torn, symbolizing that we have open access to our Father, but the empty tomb defines our victorious life in Christ and our final destiny.  As we await for Jesus' return, I think we have to grasp that as His disciples walked with Him over 2000 years ago, we too now walk, by the power of His Spirit.  The baton has been passed.  Just as there was no turning back for Jesus the day He left His throne in heaven, there is no turning back for us.  The statutes He has laid down for us are righteous and fully trustworthy (Psalm 119:137).  So as we sang on Sunday, bear your cross till we receive our crown because no matter where we are or what we're going through, we can trust that when we call on Jesus with all of our hearts, He will answer us.  (Psalm 119:145)
