Thanks for the ping and I am so glad Amanda is doing better.

Have a blessed Easter and may we always remember the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus on the Cross.

Tetelestai (Greek)

... doesn’t translate simply, we have to make a phrase out of it - “It is finished”

Tetelestai = the most powerful word in history

The word tetelestai was also written on business documents or receipts in New Testament times to show indicating that a bill had been paid in full. The Greek-English lexicon by Moulton and Milligan says this: “Receipts are often introduced by the phrase [sic] tetelestai, usually written in an abbreviated manner…”

IT IS FINISHED
