Tetelestai

Greek word

Tetelestai

It is finished!

It is completed!

Paid in full!

John 19:30

[30] When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

This shout of victory from Christ on the cross as He was dying and returning to the Father.

He had accomplished His Father's work.

God raised Him from the dead.

He is risen indeed.

Our Redeemer lives!

He will return!

If you are a Christ follower, this word, Tetelestai, has a great hope attached to it.

Our hope is in Christ Alone and His ability to pay our debt.

Someday Christ will return, He will repay all evil. 

Only His blood will cover your sin.

That blood is a free gift you receive by faith. 

You must know that there is not one thing you can do to be justified before Holy God.

It is mercy!

Acts 13:29-30

[29] And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. [30] But God raised him from the dead,

John 17:4-5

[4] I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. [5] And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

Matthew 27:50-54

[50] And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.

[51] And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. [52] The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, [53] and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. [54] When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

Romans 9:16

[16] So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.
