It is Finished
On the cross, Jesus did not whisper a defeated goodbye; He cried out a clear word of victory, “It is finished.” In this message from John 19, we step onto Golgotha and listen as the Lord of Glory declares that the debt of our sin is fully and finally paid. We see why the cross was absolutely necessary, why our self effort can never cancel our guilt, and how "It is finished" means the work of salvation is complete, not waiting on your performance.
Pastor Matthew unpacks how Jesus drank the full cup of judgment in our place, nailed our record of debt to His cross, and tore the veil so the way into God’s presence is forever open. We also look at how the finished work of Christ kills pride, kills self salvation, heals hostility, and gives us a new way to live as we take up our cross daily. As you watch, ask the Holy Spirit to show you where you are still living like it is not finished, and hear Jesus speak over your guilt, striving, and resistance, “Paid in full.”
