Christ meant that his work on earth had been successfully completed, and now the hour had come when he could return to his heavenly father. How satisfying it must have been for him to know that his mission on earth was accomplished. Eternal life had been won for all believers. How true this is of all of us. We must be more than just starters; we must finish that which we have begun. Persistence and patience must be brought to bear as we keep our eyes on the distant goal. Many projects are started and soon laid aside and never finished. In the spiritual world there is need for persistency.
