God finished His work - only when He was finished did He rest.
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)
On the cross, Jesus finished His work before giving up His Spirit. Nothing would stop Him from finishing the work God had for Him.
Both times, God performed acts that are far beyond anything we could do for ourselves. And both times, they turned their finished miracle over to humans who were sure to make a mess of things.
But also both times, there were some who were faithful and diligent in their work, performing great deeds for the furtherance of the Kingdom.
You and I have our work to do - each one of us has both a purpose and a plan from our Heavenly Father that we must complete for His Glory. Don’t stop until your work on this earth is finished, so you can hear along with all the saints who went before you, “Well done my good and faithful servant”!
