Is there anything we can do beyond what Christ accomplished for us as believers in the course of His life, ministry and on the cross. Can anybody accomplish for us what Jesus Christ accomplished for us on the cross and in the course of His life. Can anybody declare “Its done” and qualify the validity of the phrase just as Christ had every right to declare “Its Done”?
What Christ did in the course of His life was the work that The Father had given unto Him. Christ was qualified to accomplish it, he was qualified and empowerd on account of His perfection and His obidience to the Law on our behalf while on earth, He is the end of all Law, For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth [ R O M A N S 10 : 4 ] Thus as He declared “Its done” The beliver was untied from the Law of Moses in its entirety. Christ declares, The Law is Done.
He was beaten and made to suffer the wrath of God on our behalf for our sins as the Prophet Isaiah had prophesised hundreds of years prior to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ
[ 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. note
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. – I S A I A H 53 : 2 – 5 ]
This suffering and pain on account of our sins that Christ endured had to come to an end at some point and it did, When He declared: its done! We cannot as sons and daughters of Adam do more than what he already accomplished. We may be beaten or tortured but these terrible things can never reedem anybody, our sufferings cannot reedem anybody for Christ has already redeemed His Church and besides because we are too sinful to qualify, we are not blameless we cannot reedem anbody or even ourselves.
In the past Nobody or nothing has ever qualified to accomplish what Christ accomplished in the course of His life right until that moment at the cross when He declared: Its done! The Sacrifices, the Law, the Prophets the Levitical priesthood could not have declared: Its done for they too where looking forwad and pointing to He who would accomplish the great work of redemption and declare: Its done.
In the past nobody was ever sinless or perfect, nobody was ever predestined to be sinless and perfect, everybody else was full of the sinful nature of Adam they could have never qualified to declare: Its done! The Law, The sacrifices and the levitical priesthood where but pointers to he who would declare: Its done!
In our day nobody qualifies to declare what Christ already declared because once Christ was qualified to accomplish it, He accomplished it fully, nobody else is needed to add to what He already accomplished.
What else did Christ accomplish, to declare: Its Done ? Christ was a fullfilment of all Old Testament Prophecy, The seed of the Woman, The Kinsman Redeemer, The Son of David, The Seed of Abraham, The Good Shephered, The High Priest in the Order of Melchizedek, The Second Adam, The blameless Lamb of God. Unlike we, sinners, born and bred in sin, None amongst the pool of sinners can accomplish nothing except more sin.
Any man who thinks He can accomplish what Christ accomplished in order to declare that it is done is sure to take us back unto destruction. Its done because Christ did and having done He said so.
