True that. Misnomer about Resurrection Sunday.
He is risen. He is alive.
I, we, proclaim His death (as payment for our sins) until he comes.
It is finished!(tetelestai) As an artist finished a work of art, or as a servant completed his duties.
1. Scripture concerning the Christ fulfilled
2. Our penalty satisfied in the law
3. The spotless Lamb of God sacrificed
4. Our debt (wages of sin) paid in full
5. The battle cry of the VICTOR: “It is finished!”
WOW! Our God is an awesome God.
The law is not about penalty, it is “instruction in righteousness.”
That is why only “doers of the law will be justified.” It is the righteousness that we need to endure in faith.
“Be ye perfect as I am perfect.”
