Do?? or Done!!
We hear so much about what we must do as Christians, that one would almost think there was nothing that Christ had done. "Do," "Do," we hear on every hand, and how seldom do we hear "DONE".
Thank God that in a world of so many unfinished things, there is one thing finished. "It is finished!" - the work of the Savior is finished, said He who did it, and no one yet has ever been able to point out an unfinished thing in that redemption work.
The "DONE" takes away the "Do".
"Do" means human endeavor...
"Done" means Divine accomplishment.
"Do" is possible to human attainment...
"Done" is alone possible with God.
"Do" satisfies the flesh...
"Done" satisfies the spirit.
"Do" is the exercise of human energy...
"Done" is the display of Divine power and grace.
We are not to be crucified with Christ...
We were crucified with Christ.
Christians are not to be united with Christ...
They are united with Christ now.
Every blessing, every experience, every victory, every deliverance known to the Christian life, comes as the result of the DONE work of the Cross.
We can never exhaust the results of the DONE work of the Cross.
God never gave to any sinner or any saint anything that did not flow from the DONE issue of the Cross of Christ.
So what is there for US to do? Be aware and be dependent on the life of Christ in us to direct us away from sin and to lead us into the "good life" - the lifestyle of a child of God.
