"It is done." --- Revelation 21:6.
When Jesus bowed the head, and gave up the ghost, he said, "It is finished." The arduous and important work of obedience and suffering, which I had undertaken in my mediatorial capacity, is finished. I have glorified my Father on earth; I have finished the work he gave me to do.
When all the redeemed are gathered, He who sitteth on the throne beholding those he purchased with his blood, and brought to glory, rejoicing in these works of his hands, thus expresseth himself, "It is done." The means and helps appointed for training you up, and preparing you for glory, are now laid aside, being no longer necessary; the scaffolding is now taken down, when the grand and glorious building in all its parts is finished. "That which is perfect is come, and that which was in part is done away." What depth of wisdom, what beautiful order, in the plan of salvation, and in the tendency of its various parts, to perfect the glorious work of redeeming love, agreeable to the eternal counsel of peace! How harmoniously connected all the links of the golden chain! Romans 8:29, 30.
This is the doing of the Lord; and is it not marvellous in my eyes? When receiving the Spirit that is of God, I see things that are freely given of God, do I not see and admire my dear Immanuel in the whole of the plan; in him the beginning and finishing of this grand design? Am I part of the plan? Is not his eye upon me, his hand about me? O amazing wisdom and love! Shall no part be neglected? Can nothing fail in the Redeemer's hand? Shall even the weakest be supported? Shall none be lost? Shall all his have eternal life? Why then should I fear? The mighty One will do all his work in me, and for me. Is the prospect, by faith, of this finished work pleasant and transporting? what must the immediate blessed vision be? O my God, I will live in hopes of one day joining with all the redeemed in the song of Moses and the Lamb; keep me by thy power to everlasting salvation.
When all the saints are gather'd home,
And time its course has run,
What shouts the ransom'd souls will give,
When Jesus cries, "'Tis done!"
