For thousands of years, God fearing men roamed the land attempting to interpret the instructions passed down from God by prophets. Many persecuted others who did not interpret or follow the instructions as they did, and others suffered privately as they struggled with why they were unable to follow the instructions handed down by their parents and church leaders. God's plan for revealing his plans for us included allowing his son to come to Earth and show us the way. Jesus spent his time on Earth learning, teaching, serving, loving and performing miracles. Some followed. Some were scared, and many feared the power of his presence and message. That fear from church and political leaders pushed Jesus to the cross, but the cross was his destiny from the beginning. After being brutally beaten and then nailed to the cross with spikes through his wrists, he endured a suffocating death. He was offered a sponge soaked with wine vinegar, and after he had taken it, he spoke his last words, "It is finished." Our struggle with the condemnation from not being up to live up to God's plan for us was now finished. But the potential power of Jesus inside of each one of us was just beginning. If you have 5 minutes, celebrate this amazing truth by singing along with this song.
