It is finished...

This weeks message was the sixth in our series on Jesus' statements from the cross.

This week we heard the words, "It is finished!" I think it's a statement that in Scripture, an exclamation point is used. I don't know where that exclamation point comes from. I don't know if it was put there by the translators, or if something in the Greek text warranted it. But it implies that Jesus was exasperated, exhausted, and giving up, as if He were quietly saying "it's over, I can't fight any longer..."

Instead, the exclamation point implies a victorious cheer, "Yeh, it's finished, it's over, we've won!"

In this weeks message, I call it a battle cry. A proud statement of fact that Jesus mission is completed, he did everything he came to do, and He did it well!. I explored some of the facets that means, and why it was so important to us as we live our lives of faith.
