1. "IT IS FINISHED!"
Sixth Saying of Jesus on the Cross

2. JOHN 19:30
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour
wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed
His head and gave up His spirit.

3. WHAT WAS FINISHED FOR JESUS
 His separation from God.
 His poverty and toil.
 His weariness, hunger, and temptation.
 His earthly grief and pain.

4. WHAT WAS FINISHED IN HISTORY?
 The end of the old covenant
 The end to the rule of sin and death
 The end of hopelessness and separation
from God
 The end of one man struggle to fulfill his
calling and purpose

5. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR US?
1. The separation or distance we feel from
God is not God’s plan and is contrary to
what Jesus died for.
2. Enduring, going through hardships and
struggles are a part of this life and a part of
seeing His kingdom come, His will be done
on the earth.
3. There is a end to this life and a beginning to
the next

6. HOW WE STRUGGLE AGAINST
SEPARATION FROM GOD?
 The Gospel message – truth
 Your testimony and life is the expression of
what God has done for you.
 Your salvation – God’s hand of intervention
 Your journey from bondage to sin
 Your experiences of healing and hope
 Your encounters of His great faithfulness

7. THE TESTIMONY OF THE COMMUNITY
Like a never ending book of Acts, we the
people of God record with our lives and our
media who God is and what He has done for
us.
We live in the light of what Jesus finished
