It is Finished

John 19:30
"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar He said,
'It is finished' and He bowed His head and gave up the ghost."

- IT IS FINISHED. This is one of the seven sayings, as we say, of the Lord Jesus on the cross. Just three words - IT IS FINISHED.

The Greatest Words Ever Uttered
By the Greatest Man That Ever Lived.

In these words I see the consummation of all the Old Testament truth and the germination of all New Testament truth.

I don't believe that ever in history,
anywhere, at any time, by anybody,
were words more pregnant with meaning
than these words given by one Man at the end of His life -
It is finished. It is finished.

I suggest to you in all reverence that these words terrified hell. IT IS FINISHED!

You see, this English phrase of ours, this little sentence, is not in the Greek at all. And I don't know much about Greek, but I did discover that in the Greek it is just one word: FINISHED!

Matthew 27 says that Jesus cried with a loud voice: "FINISHED!"...And I am sure all hell shook!
