It Is Finished

“It is finished.”

One final blessing from the cross,

One final word in Greek—

Tetelestai.

Completed.

Accomplished.

Perfected.

His final breath

Means you can take a deep breath.

Exhale – whew—it’s over.

The whole, nightmarish attempt

To do enough,

To be good enough,

To try hard enough,

To be accepted,

Is finished.

Life under the law? Finished.

Payment for sin? Finished.

Power of curse? Finished.

Tyranny of sin? Finished.

Dominion of evil? Finished.

Fear of God’s wrath? Finished.

Insecurity? Finished.

I bless you to let go and enjoy

The finished work of Christ on the cross.

Jesus paid it all.
