Revival Day Two
Topic: It is Finish
John 19:30 NIV
"When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
The word 'finished' as used here is a Greek verb 'Tetelestai' from the word 'te-leh-o,' which means: to complete, execute, conclude, discharge.
As in a debt, fully paid.
It is to acomplish a task and to make an end or fulfill the requirement.
What Jesus did or accomplished?
Jesus had a goal, a mission to fulfill, a goal to accomplish; and that mission is to save humanity from their sins and to restore man's relationship with his Maker. The journey to the cross was not an easy one for Jesus, at a time, He was almost given up, that was when he said in "Luke 22:42 saying:
“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
He was betrayed by trusted ally, flogged until his flesh was pulling out from the strocks from the twisted ragor wip, and a crown of thongs was placed on his head, they spat on His face, He was exposed to shame and humiliation. Dispised, and rejected, He was condemned like a common criminal even though no quit was found in Him. He was cruxified, which was the worst kind of punishment melted out by the Roman empire on hardened criminals. But Jesus needed to go through all these things, in other for the sacrifice for our redeemption to be complete.
He was driven by persistence, motivated by love for humanity. He endured the cross, the shame, the pain and the reproaches of the cross. No wonder the Bible says in
Isaiah 53:5 NIV
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."
Hence, haven't melt and fulfilled the requirement for the salvation of all humanity, He said, "...It is Finished" meaning, I have completed my task, I have fulfilled my Mission, and there remaineth no more sacrifice needed for your salvation, He paid it in full. Therefore, I can boldly say, I am free from the powers of hell, the devil has no more power to keep me in bo***ge, Jesus paid the price for my freedom and deliverance. He paid the prize for my healing, He paid the prize for my prosperity and business to flourish. I am no longer under the yoke of satan, my business can no more be limited by the devil anymore, I cannot be disadvantage anymore. I am free... Glory to God.
