"After he took the wine, Jesus said, "It's done ... complete." Bowing his head, he offered up his spirit."

How can so much be caught up in one word? Phil Ware continues his seven sayings of Jesus on the Cross and talks about how the words "I thirst" make Jesus' incarnation real.

How can anyone say they have done all that they set out to do? Jesus finished his work, accomplished his mission, completed his task, passed his test, and when his life was over he was victorious.

Can you ever think of when giving up is ever good? Jesus gave up his spirit, but he did not give up his mission, his mercy, his grace.

As long as there is life, we have a mission and purpose to complete. Phil Ware reminds us that we are called to accomplish the mission God has called us to do so that when our days on earth are over we can say we have finished the work he has given us to do.

Will you ever get it all done? Phil Ware reflects on Jesus' statement, "It is finished" and how he can ever be finished in his life.

What do these words mean and whose words do we trust? Phil Ware weaves in the 7 sayings of Jesus on the cross with the sense of forgiveness and mission that should be ours in the cross and resurrection of Jesus.

Are you ready to have your life changed? Many events in our lives change us forever, our lives will never be the same as a result, and Jesus is one of those life-changing events.

Jesus refused the route of popularity and chose to live for God's purpose. This post continues Phil Ware's look at the man with leprosy in Mark 1:35-45 and Jesus' loving interaction with the man after he had committed to live out the Father's purpose in his life.
