So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. John 19:30
Tetelestai means it is finished, accomplished, fulfilled, paid in full.
So what is “it”?
Our salvation.
Our redemption.
Our ransom is paid.
Our atonement.
Our reconciliation.
Our sins are erased.
The law was fulfilled.
Death was defeated.
Prophecies were validated.
The wrath of God was turned away.
Justice was done.
Righteousness was imputed.
Peace with God was accomplished.
Our adoption finalized.
Satan was rendered powerless.
Our eternity was secured.
Our hope manifested.
Our glorification assured.
It is accomplished.
All of it.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
