12月31日

標　　題：成了！

經　　節：耶穌嘗了那醋，就說：「成了！」便低下頭，將靈魂交付神了。（約翰福音十九章30節）

神總是完成祂所開始的善工（腓立比書一：6）。神的話從來沒有不兌現的（以賽亞書五十五：11）。基督是阿拉法，是俄梅戛，是首先的，是末後的（啟示錄一：8、17）。基督是創始成終的。

耶穌曾被交付極大的重任，祂要活出無罪的生活，要完全徹底順服天父，甚至祂的死，也成就了許多先知在聖經中所預言的（馬太福音廿六：24、31、54、56，廿七：9、35，四十六章；約翰福音十九：28、36～37）。儘管耶穌從天父所領受的任務極其複雜，祂能在十架上得勝地大喊：「成了！」

基督現在居住在每個信徒的心中。祂今天的任務，是在每個基督徒身上完成神的旨意。祂決意要在我們的生命完成這份工作，就像祂過去在世上完成天父的旨意一樣。除非你抵擋基督，才能排除神的旨意。神在你的生命到底有甚麼計畫？你是否願意讓祂在你身上，完成當初祂所開始的工作？祂不會強迫你接受祂為你所預備的一切。如果神的工並沒有讓你結實累累，這並非是基督沒有殷勤作工，而是你得釋放自己生命的某些方面給祂，並且定意要讓神的工成就在你的身上，就像基督一樣。回想在過去一年之中，神向你說的話。你是否拒絕讓神完成任何祂所給你的應許呢？若是有的話，今天就把你自己的意志，交在神的手中吧！

It Is Finished!

So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. (John 19:30)

God always finishes what He begins (Phil. 1:6). God never speaks a word without ensuring that it comes to pass (Isa. 55:11). Christ is both the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end (Rev. 1:8, 17). Christ is as much at the end of His work as He is at its beginning.

Jesus was given an enormous mandate. He was to live a sinless life, remaining absolutely obedient to His Father. Even the manner of His death was to fulfill numerous prophecies that had been foretold in Scripture (Matt. 26:24, 31, 54, 56; 27:9, 35; 46; John 19:28, 36–37). Yet, despite the extremely complex assignment Jesus received from His Father, He could shout triumphantly from the cross, “It is finished!”

Christ now resides within each believer. His assignment today is to complete God’s will in each Christian. He is just as determined to do this in us as He was to complete God’s will for Himself. You will have to resist Christ in order to remain out of the will of God. What is it God wants to do in you? Have you allowed Him to complete what He has begun? He will not force you to receive all that He has for your life. If God’s work has not been brought to fruition in you, it is not that Christ has not been diligently working toward that end. Rather, you may need to release areas of your life to Him and be as determined to see God’s work in you completed as Christ is. Review the things God has said to you over this last year. Are there promises God has made to you that you have refused to allow Him to complete? If so, commit to yield your will to God today.
