The Final Word

Ever been around children who seem to be at the same level as their parents on "authority"?  Have you been the parent or child?  This back and forth on the final word.  I believe there is something deeper within us that wants to be heard moreso understood.  We haven't quite learned the way to communicate it though.  For one person it is shutting down and running away, for another, yelling. 

Let me pose a question, were we as mankind meant to have the final word?  Yes there are decisions to be made, places to go, jobs to be done, etc.  Let me put it a different context, "In the beginning was the word, and word was with God, and the Word was God."  In a loud voice Jesus cried out on the cross "It Is Finished".  If something is finished, it is done, complete, not lacking, etc.  What we as humanity cry out for, Christ has already done, he has heard our cry even before it left our lips.  "He humbled himself taking on the very nature of a servant and became obedient to death, even death on a cross".  Christ came into the middle of our heart wrenching dilemna of "does anyone, anybody hear me or see me?"  His answer is Yes, It is finished, I have the last word.   Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except through Him.  He has the last word.  God ran to you.
