John 19:30 

“After Jesus was given a drink He said, "IT IS FINISHED!" And with that, He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.” John 19:30

Jesus: “I must FINISH THE WORK that God gave Me to do.”  John 4:34

FINISHED = “TETELESTAI”

WHAT IS “IT” THAT JESUS FINISHED ON THE CROSS?

JESUS FULFILLED THE PROMISES OF GOD ON THE CROSS AS A SERVANT

“Jesus said. ‘This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.’ Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, ‘This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations.”  Luke 24:44-47 (NIV) 

“All of God's promises have been fulfilled in Him! That’s why we say ‘Amen!’ when we give glory to God through Christ.”  2 Corinthians 1:20 (NLT)  

JESUS SATISFIED GOD’S JUSTICE ON THE CROSS AS THE JUDGE, LAWYER, & JURY

“The law of Moses could not save us, because of our sinful nature. But God put into effect a different plan to save us. He sent His own Son in a human body like ours, except that ours are sinful. God destroyed sin's control over us by giving His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that THE REQUIREMENT OF THE LAW would be fully accomplished for us...”  Romans 8:3-4 (NLT)

“After Jesus had finished His work He became the source of eternal salvation for EVERYONE who obeys Him.”  Hebrews 5:9 (GW) 

JESUS PAID ALL MY DEBT TO GOD ON THE CROSS AS A BANKER

“He canceled the debt, which listed all the rules we failed to follow. He took away that record with its rules and nailed it to the cross.” Colossians 2:14 (NCV) 

JESUS FREED US FROM THE CURSE OF DEATH ON THE CROSS AS A WARDEN

“The sin of one man, Adam, caused death to rule over us, but all who receive God's wonderful, gracious gift of righteousness will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.”  Romans 5:17 (NLT) 

“Jesus became flesh and blood by being born in human form. For only as a human being could He die, and only by dying could He break the power of the Devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could He deliver those who have lived all their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.”  Hebrews 2:14-15 (NLT) 

JESUS FREED US FROM THE POWER OF SATAN ON THE CROSS AS GOD

“For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son” Colossians 1:13

“In this way, He disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by His victory over them on the cross.” Colossians 2:15

Hosanna = SAVE NOW!
