Day 6 - Seven Proclamations: The Victory Proclaimed

Seven Powerful Proclamations of Jesus on The Cross Devotional

By Rev. Myk Alba | March 30, 2024
Day 6: The Victory Proclaimed
Jesus’ words on the cross were... Words of Triumph
John 19:30: It is finished. 

Because of the finished work on The Cross, We can proclaim the Words of Jesus from The Cross over our life and affirming that We are triumphant! 

The Fulfillment of Purpose
In the shadow of the Cross, amid the silence that followed the agony, a proclamation resounded that forever altered the course of history: "It is finished." With these words, Jesus declared the completion of His mission, the fulfillment of the prophecies, and the finality of His sacrificial work for our redemption.
 
These words of triumph were not a whisper of defeat but a victorious declaration that the battle was won. In the face of seeming loss, true victory emerged—a triumph over sin and death, a heralding of new life.
 
Proclaiming the Triumph of the Cross Over Our Lives
We, who live in the light of the Cross, can boldly proclaim these triumphant words over our lives. "It is finished" becomes our battle cry against despair, our song of freedom from sin's grip, and our anthem of hope for eternal life.
 
In Christ's triumph, we find our victory. Our struggles, our pains, our battles are enveloped in this victorious declaration. We affirm, with unwavering faith, that because He triumphed, we too are more than conquerors.
 
Affirmation of Triumph
Today, let us affirm with every fiber of our being: We are triumphant. The completion of Jesus’ work on the Cross is the beginning of our victory march. We stand firm, not because we are strong, but because He has finished the work.
 
In our daily lives, let this affirmation be the undercurrent of our actions and the essence of our identity. We face each day not as those who are striving for victory but as those who are living from it.
 
Prayer of Thanksgiving
Mighty God,
We stand in awe of Your completed work on the Cross, where Jesus declared, "It is finished." With hearts full of gratitude, we thank You for the victory that is ours in Him. Help us to live in the light of this triumph, to walk in the confidence of Your finished work, and to extend this victory into every aspect of our lives. May we be agents of Your triumph, carrying the message of the Cross with boldness. Amen.
 
As you move forward, may you do so with the assurance of the victory proclaimed on the Cross. May "It is finished" be the truth that empowers your steps, the certainty that upholds your faith, and the promise that seals your triumph in every circumstance. 
 
As we fast and pray, may these devotionals for the next seven days bring us into an awesome wonder of Jesus, Our Lord, God, and King!
