Finish the work

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.  John 17:4

On the night of his arrest, Jesus lifted his eyes toward heaven and prayed.  In His prayer, He was able to say that He had glorified His Heavenly Father on earth and finished the work given Him to do.  It should be our desire to leave behind a testimony of our faithfulness to God.

When Jesus died on the cross, one of His last statements was: “It is finished.”  The work of salvation was complete.  Only Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God, could pay the penalty for our sins.  But God has a work for each of us to do.

Let us continue our work for the Lord until our task is finished and He calls us home.
