VICTORY!!
"It is finished!" John 19:30. What Christ is referring to here is the
accomplished salvation of the people. What that means is that when we are
saved, we do not have to put out burnt saccrifices up to Him. It is no
longer needed because Christ died for us, which took away the iniquities of
our sin. He did this out of great love for us. This is exemplified in
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton son
that who so ever belief in him shall have eternall life!". That verse is
very important to us, or should be, because in a way, one could base

loved us so much that he did that for us so that is the least that we could
do. In Genesis 3:15 it says that we will be punished for our sins. Yes,
that is true, but God will forgive and forget them if we repent. You see
this is not possible without Jesus dying for our sins. In Romans 5:6-8 it
says that Christ died for all of us. Even the bad ones, ALL. This is a
sign of the Victory that Christ had won a victory here. The reason is
because of all of the lifes that he saved and will later be saved. In
Romans 5 it says that Jesus died for All Sinners! We are all sinners so
When Jesus says that "It is finished", he can also be reffering to the
older predictions of Christs' life. There is one in particular that it
might have been talking about in Isaiah. That is the one in which Isaiah
talks of the life of Jesus and the crusifiction, in very short and brief
The suffering in which Jesus took for us lasted all through the night,
and then in the morning the thrusted a sword into His side to see if he was
alive. After the water poored out of His side, you can say that it is
officially over. In my heart it is not completely over, just that of that
