its not the starting that matters, it is the finishing. Can you close the deal? can you complete the task? Can you get the whole job done? Can you check off every box? Can you finish what you started? 

For many of us life is like a diet. We have a great thought, and a pretty good plan and we see a few pounds drop, but we never quite follow through to that last pound. We still have a few notches left on the scale to hit, but we just lose our mojo… our passion. 

Jesus at the beginning of Revelation and at the end says he is the Alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. He also says in Hebrews 12:2 he is the author and finisher of our faith. And he goes on to say that he John 17:4 I have finished the work you have given me. 

 

The greatest of tasks as a follower of Christ I believe is not raising someone from the dead or healing the sick or preaching a beautiful eloquent sermon, but rather is simply finishing what God has for us to do? 

 

Jesus faced things in life that were tough. 40 days in the wilderness being tempted by satan… the intense pressure in the garden sweating drops of blood, the whipping the crucifixion… he had lots to deal with, but he finished the work. His last words on the cross … IT    IS   FINISHED! 

 

I hope and pray I might be able to say the same words as Jesus. Oh I can quote scripture with the best of them, and I love quoting scripture in the time of need… but hopefully this is a verse I can quote in the first person… as someone who has actually finished what he started, as someone who has actually done Gods work and will in their lifetime. oh to have it all but not finish Gods work is utter failure and foolishness.
