TETELESTAI
“IT IS FINISHED”
“PAID IN FULL”
MEDITATION ON IT IS FINISHED (John 19:30-note) which can also be translated “PAID IN FULL!” THREE words in English, ONE word in Greek TETELESTAI! The GREATEST WORD from the GREATEST MAN on the GREATEST DAY in all eternity! One word, but no word ever uttered has so changed the history and destiny of mankind. In Latin tetelestai is rendered with two words Consummatum est (It is consummated!) Jesus spoke 7 times on the Cross (Lk 23:34-note; Jn 19:36-note; Lk 23:42-note; Mt 27:46-note; Jn 19:28,30-note, Lk 23:46-note). TETELESTAI was Jesus next to last word and was followed by Father, INTO THY HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.” (Lk 23:46-note). IT IS FINISHED! “Yes, indeed/Finished, evry jot/Sinner, this is all you need/Tell me, is it not?” (Ira Sankey)
Amen
