Let’s give thanks for the finished work of Christ. He paid the price for sin in full. And so he could cry out from the cross: “It is finished!” (John 19:30) – “Complete! Accomplished! Achieved! Done!”. As the hymn puts it: “All that is needful hath been.” There’s nothing more We need to DO because CHRIST has DONE it all. We receive his finished work with the empty hand of faith. We bring our sin; he brings full and free purification. 

 

We’re reminded of the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice in the Communion service: he “made there by his one oblation of himself once offered a full, perfect and sufficient sacrifice, oblation and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world;”.

 

John assures us that “the blood of Jesus, his [God’s] Son purifies us from all sin”. He “purifies us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:7, 10)
