When Jesus had tasted it,
he said, "It is finished!"
Then he bowed his head
and gave up his spirit.
I once heard this story about two men, a Christian and an unsaved soul, discussing how to get into Heaven. The Christian asked the other man, “Want to know the big difference between your religion and mine?” The other man replied, “Sure, what is it?” The saved man said, “Yours has two letters in it, while mine has four.” The other man asked, “What do you mean?” The Christian responded, “Well, yours says ‘Do’ while mine says ‘Done.’” Religion is man’s way of reaching up to connect with God while Christianity is God’s effort to reach down to the sinful world. When He saved man, Jesus completed the work when hanging on the cross. Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:8-9, “God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.” You just have to receive Jesus in your life as Savior and the work is done. Is God's finished work in your life apparent to those around you?

AMEN!!!!
Jesus is our potter... sometimes trials and tribulations may occur. However that only happens because God is working in our lives. and at the end we are his perfect master piece.....
amen. we don't need to impress God for a ticket to heaven, all He asks is that we come just as we are and He will still receive us with open arms if we just believe He is our Lord and confess our sins.
amen !!!
