It Is Finished
“When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”
ONE FINAL WORD
In Greek it is a single word: tetelestai. Merchants stamped it on settled invoices — it means the debt is paid in full.
PAID IN FULL
Nothing about your salvation is pending. The price was not reduced or negotiated — He paid it, all of it.
NOTHING LEFT TO ADD
Finished means finished. Your performance does not complete the cross; it responds to it.
A VICTORY CRY
Jesus did not whisper surrender; He announced completion. Then He gave up His spirit — no one took it from Him.
REST IN IT
Striving to earn what is already yours is exhausting. Grace invites you to work from acceptance, not for it.
LAY ONE DOWN
Act: name one area where you have been trying to earn God's love, write "it is finished" beside it, and thank Him before breakfast.
