On the cross, before His last breath, Jesus exclaimed “It is Finished”. But what exactly was finished? Why did He utter these words? Why did He speak these words at this specific moment? Tune in to discover how Jesus fulfilled God’s requirement and satisfied the desire of His heart in this emphatic statement.
In His last words, “It is Finished”, the Bible reveals that God’s eternal redemption was accomplished for man. The ultimate price God required of sinful man was paid by Christ, and mankind has been reconciled back to God.
Redemption could take place because on the cross Christ terminated every negative thing in the universe. Sin, sins, the world, Satan, the old man, the old creation and every other negative was removed so that God and man can be at peace now.
God ultimately delights in having many sons who are the increase of His Son, Jesus Christ. In His words “It is Finished”, we see that Jesus dispensed the life of God into His believers making them sons of God!
