I've Got to Stop Trying to Help Jesus!
As I began reading It is Finished, I was struck by a passage in the preface (page 9): "For the longer we stand beneath the cross, the more we realize that we desperately need to have happen what happened. And either we believe that it has happened...it is finished...or we will spend the rest of our lives trying to make it happen ourselves." Why do I keep thinking that Jesus needs my help? Why do I think that if I just read my Bible more or criticize my fellow believers less, Jesus will love me more. Jesus loves me PERIOD! It is finished!
