“It is Finished” have been called “the greatest words ever uttered by the greatest man that ever lived.”
A single word in Greek, tetelestai, when understood properly, is perhaps the single most important word in all of Scripture. In this word is the consummation of all of Scripture: the Old Testament prophecies of His person and death, all fulfilled; the types and shadows of the law fulfilled and explained; the death-certificate pronounced by the law is crucified; the wrath of God satisfied, and the power of Satan and sin finished for God's people. This word was so powerful that it shook heaven, earth and hell! I don't believe that ever in history, anywhere, at any time, by anybody, is there a word more meaningful than this spoken by Jesus Christ at the end of His life – tetelestai!
When we survey the wondrous cross, we find that Christ's love is, 'so amazing and so divine,' that He bore our sins in His body, taking the curse and the wrath of God upon Him; In His nakedness, He bore our shame; He took our sins and His heart was broken that ours might be healed; He was an outcast that we might be brought in; He suffered without the gate that we might enter into heaven. In the cross, the very curse of the fall is reversed in every aspect. IT IS FINISHED!

Pastor Joseph LoSardo
It is Finished! The Gospel of John 19 Bread of Life Fellowship
“ Thank you for a wonderful sermon ” Our hearts are heavy when we hear about what they did to Our Dear Lord and what he did for us. And there is also a joy in our hearts to know that our Dear Lord paid with his life for us. I know it should be me up there on the cross. Because I am the sinner and not him who gave his life that we may have the victory in him.
Thank you Dear Pastor Joseph.
