Thirty Thousand Thoughts 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. The significance of these words as regards — I. CHRIST PERSONALLY. They indicated — 1. That His passion was accomplished. 2. That the Father's will had been perfected in the Son. II. THE POWERS OF DARKNESS. They indicated that Christ's absolute sovereignty was established over Satan, death, and hell. III. MANKIND. They indicated that the debt of sin was cancelled and man's atonement made. Conclusion: The saying teaches us — 1. To realize in the apparent failure of His mission the true dignity of Christ. 2. The necessity of individual co-operation with Divine grace. 3. To offer ourselves to God in living consecration. 4. To be faithful unto death. (Thirty Thousand Thoughts.)
