Jesus' triumphant cry, “It is finished” (Greek: tetelestai), declared the complete fulfillment of His mission. Unlike all others who leave life with unfinished goals, Jesus alone accomplished every purpose: fulfilling prophecy, canceling the record of our sin, and defeating Satan. This single word was used in everyday life to declare a task completed, a debt paid, or a masterpiece finished. Jesus’ death wasn’t a moment of defeat, but a victorious declaration that salvation is fully secured. His final words offer assurance that the work of redemption is done—forever—and nothing needs to be added.
