When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.†With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. – John 19:30
As we discussed last Friday, the key word is FINISHED. Meaning there is nothing left to do to get God’s approval. Yet, we so often live our lives waiting, even seeking the approval of others.  The problem with that, as we discovered is that when we live FOR the approval of other people, we surrender our freedom. However, when we turn toward our heavenly Father, and begin to live FROM his approval, you experience peace. And none of the people in your life can take away that peace because they didn’t give it to you in the first place.
