Grace

A little Good Friday reflection.

In John 19:30, Jesus utters these final words, “It is finished” (Grk. Tetelestai – [it is] paid in full.) Tetelestai is the same word that was written on first century tax receipts that had been paid in full.

My sin has been fully paid. Jesus on the cross has fulfilled the wrath of God.

I recently ran across this wonderful definition of Grace:
When God could have condemned all, He chose to save some for His glory.
