Reflections on "It is Finished!"

Preached: April 7, 2023 Good Friday. John 19:30 and Selected Scriptures A variety of reflections on these words. Those who passed by that day. (Matthew 27:39-40) The religious leaders. (Matthew 27:41-43) The two thieves crucified with Jesus. (Matthew 27:44; Luke 23:39-43) The dispersed followers of Jesus. (Luke 24:13-21) Jesus' view of this time, these words. The word He used. (John 19:30, 28; 4:34; 5:36; 17:4, 23) Looking back to understand His view. (Revelation 13:9; Ephesians 1:4) The meaning begins to build with God's promise after Adam and Eve's sin. (Genesis 3:15) His view included the path of Philippians chapter 2. (Philippians 2:6-8) His view was of the end of His suffering for us. (Mark 10:35-39) His view was of His death finishing the provision of the fountain of grace for salvation through Him. (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 1:4) His view was that His death was the final, complete sacrifice. (Hebrews 10:12, 14) (c) 2023 Lyle L. Wahl
