                                          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."Finished- means to complete, or to 
                                          accomplish.
 
                                          The 
                                          substance is now come, and all of the 
                                          types, and
                                          shadows are done away.
                                          The veil is now taken away, and the 
                                          wall of partition is
                                          taken down, to make way for a better 
                                          hope. 
                                          In John 
                                          19:34 "But one of the soldiers with a 
                                          spear pierced
                                          his side, and forthwith came blood, 
                                          and water."
                                          This spear opened up the very 
                                          fountains of life. 
                                          The blood, and water that flowed out 
                                          were significant, they were benefits which all believers partake
                                          through Jesus. Justification, and 
                                          sanctification. Blood for remission, water for regeneration. Blood for atonement, water for purification. 
                                          They 
                                          both flowed from Him after He was 
                                          pierced.In Zechariah 13:1 "In that day there 
                                          shall be a fountain
 opened to the house of David, and to 
                                          the inhabitants of
 Jerusalem for sin, and for 
                                          uncleanness."
 
                                          There 
                                          was a fountain opened, that is a 
                                          provisionmade for the pollution of sin.
                                          The pierced side of Jesus was that 
                                          fountain that was opened!
                                          A Continual flowing stream.
 
                                          There is 
                                          an inexhaustible supply or fullness 
                                          overflowing and ever flowing. To the poor as well as the rich. It is opened for all who believe! 
                                          It Is 
                                          Finished, the work of mans redemption 
                                          and salvation
                                          is now complete, also a fatal blow was 
                                          given to the devil!
                                          A fountain of grace is opened that 
                                          shall always flow. 
                                          A 
                                          foundation of peace, joy, and 
                                          happiness is laid that shall
                                          never fail. He gave his life for us. 
                                          He didn't fight death,
                                          but He surrendered, because He knew 
                                          that all things would
                                          be finished! 
                                          The 
                                          Levitical priests were many, because 
                                          after one haddied another would succeed him.
                                          But our high Priest (Jesus) continues 
                                          forever, and His Priesthood is an unchangeable one. There is no 
                                          vacancy in His
                                          Priesthood, no hour, no moment in 
                                          which we are without a
                                          Priest to intercess our needs.
 
                                          He is 
                                          able to save to the uttermost, in all 
                                          times, in all cases.
                                          Hebrews 7:25 "Wherefore he is able 
                                          also to save them
                                          to the uttermost that come unto God by 
                                          him, seeing he
                                          ever liveth to make intercessions for 
                                          them." 
                                          Verse26, 
                                          "For such an high priest became us, 
                                          who isholy, harmless, undefiled, separate 
                                          from sinners, and
 made higher than the heavens."
 
                                          Verse 27,"Who needeth not daily as 
                                          those high priest, to
                                          offer up sacrifice, first for his own 
                                          sins, and then for the
                                          people's: for this he did once, when 
                                          he offered up himself."
 
                                          No 
                                          priest could be suitable or sufficient 
                                          for our reconciliation
                                          to God, but one who was perfectly 
                                          righteous in his own person.
                                          He must be righteous in his own self, 
                                          or he could not be the
                                          propitiation for our sin. Jesus is 
                                          what we need, He is
                                          our suffiency, our all in all. 
                                          It Is 
                                          Finished! Jesus paid the cost for our 
                                          sin. He gave His life so
                                          that we could have life through Him!
                                          If you don't know Jesus, let me give 
                                          you this opportunity toask Him into your heart. He has already 
                                          died for your sins, and
                                          is ready with open arms to receive you 
                                          into the fold, if
                                          you would ask Him into your heart, and 
                                          life.
 
                                          John 
                                          3:16"For God so loved the world that he 
                                          gave his only
 begotten son, that whosoever believeth 
                                          on him should
 not perish, but have everlasting life"
 
                                          Romans 
                                          10:9"That if thou shalt confess with thy 
                                          mouth the Lord Jesus,
                                          and shall believe in thine heart that 
                                          God hath raised him from
                                          the dead, thou shalt be saved"
