Good Friday Sermon | ”It Is FINISHED” | April 15

Of all the last words of Jesus, perhaps there are none so pointed as 'It is finished.' These words, uttered moments before His last breath (perhaps spoken with His last breath), are seemingly obvious: Jesus is at the end of His life and He has no more fight left. These are clearly words of despair. But is this what He meant? These three words - 'it is finished' - speak not only of Jesus' death but ours as well. And they are words of hope and promise, words that we must re-live everyday. They are words which bring together past, present and future.
