It is Finished

Read:  Matthew Chapter 27

“And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.  And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.  The tombs also were opened.  And the many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,” (vs 51,52)

All these signs occurred as confirmation for those with eyes to see that “Truly this was the Son of God!”  The earth quaking, the curtain being torn, the dead raised to life, all fulfilled the hope of the Jews.  This is God’s promises realized.  When God’s promises (our hope) become a present reality, this is to give us the assurance (proof) of that which is unseen.  This is confirmation that God is who He says He is and we can trust Him to do what He says He will do.  And that is faith.

I’m overwhelmed by You and Your sacrifice for me.  Open my eyes to see Your promises realized in a personal way, in my life, that my faith may increase.  Thank You, Jesus.
