The Finished Work

John 19:30, “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost

📖 Devotional Message

The Reflection: 

The most powerful words ever spoken are “It is finished.” Christ completed the work of redemption, the defeat of the enemy, and the opening of the way for the divine life to enter man. There is nothing we can add to this work. Our spiritual life is not about finishing something for God, but about resting in what He has already finished. When we face trials or the accusations of the enemy, we stand on the ground of this “finished” victory.

Practical Application: 

Whenever you feel pressured to “prove yourself” to God or others today, stop and say: “It is finished.” Rest in the fact that your acceptance and victory are already secured.

LUGANDA:

Okufumiitiriza: 

Ebigambo ebisinga amaanyi ebibadde byogerwa bye bino “Kiwedde.” Kristo yamaliriza omulimu gw’okununula, okuwangula omulabe, n’okuggulawo ekkubo obulamu obw’obwakatonda okuyingira mu muntu. Tewali kye tuyinza kwongera ku mulimu guno. Obulamu bwaffe obw’omwoyo si bwa kumaliriza kintu ku lwa Katonda, wabula kuwummula mu by’amaze edda. Bwe twolekagana n’okugezesebwa oba okulumiriza omulabe, tuyimirira ku ttaka ly’obuwanguzi buno “obuwedde”. 

Okukozesa mu nkola: 

Buli lw’owulira ng’ozinyigirizibwa “okwekakasa” eri Katonda oba abalala leero, yimirira ogambe nti: “Kiwedde.” Wummula mu kuba nti okukkirizibwa kwo n’obuwanguzi bwo byakakasibwa dda.
