What Stops You?

Scripture – Luke 23:44-46: 44It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.

Reflection: With this, God’s plan for the salvation of all people was accomplished. Jesus had completed what He came to do. I imagine there was a great deal of relief for Him, along with the satisfaction of a job well done.

I cannot imagine what it was like for Him. I can only thank Him for the hope with which we can all live today. All we have to do is believe in Him – trust Him – rely on Him. He’s done all the work that needs to be done. If you’ve not received this gift of eternal life, what stops you?
