1. Celebrating our
Freedom and Healing
Paid for In Full by
Jesus!

2. “It is Finished!”
(John 19:30)

3. This is Jesus in His glory
King of heaven, dying for me
IT IS FINISHED! He has done it!
Death is beaten! Heaven beckons me!

4. This is Jesus in His glory
King of heaven, dying for me
IT IS FINISHED! He has done it!
Death is beaten! Heaven beckons me!
This is Jesus in His glory
King of heaven, dying for me
IT IS FINISHED! He has done it!
Death is beaten! Heaven beckons me!

5. 5 So when Jesus came into the world, He said,
Sacrifices and offerings
were not what You wanted,
but instead a body that You prepared for Me.
6 Burnt offerings and sin offerings
were not what pleased You.
7 Then I said, “See, I have come
to do Your will, God,
as it is inscribed of Me
in the scroll of the book.”
Hebrews 10:5-18 !
(The Voice)

6. 8 Now when it says that God doesn’t want
and takes no real pleasure in sacrifices,
burnt offerings, and sin offerings
(even though the law calls for them),
9 and follows this with
“See, I have come to do Your will,”
He effectively takes away the first
—animal sacrifice—
in order to establish the second,
more perfect sacrifice.
10 By God’s will, we are made holy !
through the offering of the body of Jesus, !
the Anointed, once and for all time.

7. 11 In the first covenant, every day every
officiating priest stands at his post serving,
offering over and over those same sacrifices that
can never take away sin.
12 But after Jesus stepped up to offer
His single sacrifice for sins for all time, !
He sat down in the position of honor
at the right hand of God.
13 Since then, He has been waiting for the day
when He rests His feet on His enemies’ backs,
as the psalm says.
14 With one perfect offering, Jesus has
perfected forever those who !
are being made holy,

8. 15 as the Holy Spirit keeps testifying to us through
the prophet Jeremiah. After he says,
16 “But when those days are over,” says the
Eternal One, “I will make
this kind of covenant with the people of Israel:
I will put My laws in their hearts
and write them upon their minds,”
then He adds,
17 “I will erase their sins and wicked acts !
out of My memory!
as though they had never existed.”!
18 When there is forgiveness such as this, there is
no longer any need to make an offering for sin.

9. Hebrews 10:17-18!
(The Mirror)
!
“This is final: I have deleted the record
of your sins and misdeeds.
I no longer recall them.
Sins were dealt with in such a thorough manner
that no further offerings
would ever again be required.
Nothing that we can personally sacrifice
could add further virtue to our innocence.”

10. We believe in Him who raised
from the dead our Lord Jesus
who was handed over to death
for our sins and raised to life
for our justification. So then,
now that we have been
justified by faith, we are at
peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ. It is through
Him, by faith, that we have
been admitted into God’s favor
in which we are living!
!
Romans 4:25-5:2

11. Through these he has given us his
very great and precious promises,
so that through them you may
participate in the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption in
the world caused by evil desires.
2 Peter 1:4

12. “You will do even greater
works than me!”
(John 14:12)

13. Unconditional Grace
by Susan Fochler

14. “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;
and he who has no money, come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk without money and
without price.
Is. 55:1 ESV

15.
Why do you spend your money for that which is
not bread, and your labor for that which does
not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourself in rich food. Is. 55:2

16. Why do you spend your money on
junk food, your hard-earned cash
on cotton candy?
Is 55 MSG

17. “Incline your ear, and come to
me; hear, that your soul may
live, and I will make with you
an everlasting covenant, my
steadfast, sure love for David.
!
Behold, you shall call a nation that you
do not know, and a nation that
did not know you shall run to
you, because of the Lord your
God, and of the Holy One of
Israel, for he has glorified you.

18. We
have
a
hard
time
receiving
that
which
is
unearned,
undeserved
and
beyond
understanding
!
8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

19. !
We can t fix, self-help, numb, entertain,
busy or medicate ourselves enough to
satisfy the yearning of our souls. We
are hard-wired for communion with the
One who is the source of all Life; only
He in His unconditional flow of Infinite
Love are we fully met and satiated.

20. We want to make sense of
receiving what is too good to be
true, too generous to be measured,
too beyond reach to attain. And
yet, it is ours simply for the asking:
eternal, abundant life.

21. But God, being rich in mercy, because of
the great love with which He loved us,
even when we were dead in our
trespasses, made us alive together with
Christ---by grace you have been saved---
and raised us up with him and seated us
with him in the heavenly places in Christ
Jesus...and this is not your own doing; it
is the gift of God...
Eph 2:4-6, 9,10

23. “This is my body given for you.”
!
“This cup is the new covenant
in my blood poured out for you.”
!
~Jesus
