The Weight of Love: Reflections on Jesus' Death and ResurrectionSample

We live in a world that constantly tells us to prove ourselves. Work harder. Be better. Earn your worth. It’s exhausting.

But Jesus’ final words on the cross change everything: “It is finished.”

With that declaration, the weight of sin was lifted. The debt was paid and the battle was won. We don’t have to strive for God’s love or wonder if we measure up. Jesus already did the work – completely, perfectly, and permanently.

Yet, how often do we live as if the victory depends on us? We let guilt hold us captive, forgetting that Jesus already set us free. We try to earn what’s already been given. But the truth is simple: we don’t fight for victory – we fight from it.
