It is finished
Jesus...said, "It is finished!" (John 19:30)
Outside Madrid stands an ancient monastery where the kings of Spain have been buried. The architect designed an elongated arch so flat that the reigning monarch insisted it could not hold the structure above it.
Against the architect's protest, the king ordered that acolumn be placed underneath the arch as a safety precaution. After the king died, the architect revealed that he had deliberately made the column a quarter of an inch too short--and the arch had never sagged!
Nothing need be, or can be, added to the finished wokr of Christ on Calvary to sustain the weight of the world's salvation. With utter assurance, then, we can rest our eternal hope on that one all-important word, finished!
