we open the word of God to John chapter 19.

and the beginning

our reading

When They Crucified him and two others

with him

on either side one and Jesus in the midst

midst

and pilate wrote a title and put it on

the cross and the writing was Jesus of Nazareth

Nazareth

the king of the Jews

now to verse 28

after this Jesus knowing that all things

were now accomplished

that the scripture might be fulfilled

saith I thirst

now there was said a vessel full of

vinegar and they filled a sponge with vinegar

vinegar

and put it upon hyssop

and put it to his mouth

when Jesus therefore had received the

vinegar he said it is finished

and he bowed his head and gave up the spirit

spirit

the Jews therefore because it was the preparation

preparation

that the body should not remain upon the

cross on the Sabbath day for that

Sabbath day was a high day

besought pilate that their legs might be

broken and that they might be taken away

then came the soldiers and broke the

legs of the first and of the other who

was crucified with him but when they

came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already

already

they broke not his legs

but one of the soldiers with a spear

pierced his side

and immediately there came out blood and water

water

and he just saw it bore witness and his

witness is true

and he knoweth that he's saith true that

ye might believe

for these things were done that the

scripture should be fulfilled a bone of

him shall not be broken and again

another scripture saith

and thus they treated the king

who cried

at the age of 33

most people are saying

it is getting started

but our lord Jesus said

it is finished

he did not say I am finished

it was not the defeated

moan of a

man who had failed

he had held his head high during those

and now for the first time he was to Bow

lifted up was he to die it is finished

was his cry

in the original word that Jesus used

when he was on the cross

it was one word

to tell us die

when our lord Jesus spoke from the cross

and when the Holy Spirit through John recorded

recorded

in the Gospel of John

the word that was written is the Greek

word tetelestai

it is finished

it stands finished it always will be finished

you and I have to confess that there are

many things we've never finished

and we also have to confess that some of

the things we have finished didn't last

very long

and yet here is the Lord Jesus Christ

in the most difficult situation possible

dying in weakness on the cross

and he's able to cry out the Cry of a

Victor to telesty

it is finished it stands finished and it

now this word is important to us

because Jesus finished something on the

cross that you and I better know about

I suppose the things that are finished

in Congress

and I suppose the things that are

finished in the United Nations

ultimately have to touch our lives in

some way

but oh my friend what Jesus finished on

the cross

touches every life

and therefore we better understand this word

word

my Lord cries out this shout of Victory

if you and I are going to understand it

and appropriate appropriate it I think

we need to lay hold of three very

familiar word

now you smile at that because the word

to telesti is not too familiar to us

today because we don't speak the Greek language

language

you'll probably never see it on a menu

but you'll find it in the Bible

in fact it's used back in verse 28 of

the Gospel of John chapter 19 Jesus

knowing that all things were now

accomplished same word

this word is not a familiar word to us

but it was a familiar word in our Lord's

day and you would hear it in the

marketplace you would hear it in the

homes you would hear it in the various

places of the city to tell us die

several different people use that word

the slaves used it

a master would call one of his slaves

and say do this do that

and the slave would go off and do it

you'll remember there were six million

slaves in the Roman Empire

and many of these slaves were highly educated

educated

highly trained people

and after a few hours the slave would

come back to his master and he would

simply say to tell us die

which means I have finished the work

that you gave me to do

the Lord Jesus Christ came as a servant

they wanted him to come as a king they

wanted him to come as a great conqueror

they wanted him to come and deliver them

from the physical problems of Roman rule

but that's not why he came

you can set a man free politically and

never touch him spiritually

you can elevate a man materially and

never raise him spiritually our lord

Jesus came to get to the heart of the

problem and the Heart of the problem is

and he humbled himself

I don't think anyone here wants a

demotion if you went to work tomorrow

morning and you found a slip in your

place at the clock that said please see

the manager and you went to see the

manager and he said to you I have good

news for you we're demoting you

'd say good news that's no good news

I've been here for 10 15 20 years I've

worked my way up in this organization

you're demoting me and yet here is

almighty God The Sovereign who becomes

the servant

here is the master of all who becomes

the slave of all and he became obedient

as a servant obedient unto death and not

just any kind of a death even the death

of the Cross and when those Philippian

Christians read that in Paul's letter

they must have looked at each other

because no citizen of a Roman city could

kind of death

and yet Jesus as the servant

who had come to be the slave of God

the servant of God lifts up his head and

he says to his father to tell us die I

have finished the work

that you gave me to do

in fact he said that in his prayer in

John chapter 17. father the hour is come

glorify thy son that thy son Also may

glorify Thee I have finished the work

which thou gavest me to do I have

the slaves used that word

it was a familiar word because the

priests used it

if you were going through the temple

area any day when the sacrifices were

being offered

like at Passover you would have heard

the word here comes a worshiper here

comes a man with his lamb or his gold or

whatever the sacrifice might be and the

first task the priest had to perform was

to examine the sacrifice no priest would

ever offer on the altar a sacrifice that

was not perfect

and the priest would look at the eyes

and he would check the ears he would

look at the body he would make sure the

animal was not sick

and having examined the animal

he would say

to tell us die you know what that means

it's perfect

it's complete

it's faultless

and so as our Lord hangs there as the

Lamb of God

as he hangs on the cross as God's

sacrificed for sins

he's able to say as both the priest and

the sacrifice to telestyle it is perfect

so thoughtless was the sacrifice that

his enemies had to hire Liars to testify

against him

they examined one witness after another

and they could find no fault in him

did you not ever hear him speak

that was wrong never no man ever spoke

like this

did you never see him do a deed that was

contrary to the law no no we watched him

we we saw nothing

even the demons had to confess that he

was the son of God

when he began his ministry and came down

to the Jordan River he was approved by

God the Father this is my beloved Son in

whom I am well pleased he was approved

by God the Holy Spirit who came down

like a dove and lighted upon him

he was approved by the prophet John the

Baptist who said I have need to be

baptized of Thee

and as he walked and talked and worked

and lived they watched him

and they listened

and they spied upon him and during that

last week prior to Passover that week

when the Lambs were always examined they

examined him

the men came up and said now we know

you're a teacher and you don't listen to

what people have to say you don't you're

not swayed one way or another we want to

ask you a question and they tried to

trap him

and as he walked through that week when

the Lambs were being examined they

examined God's lamb

and they went away and said we find no

fault in him even pilate said that

to tell us die I offer a faultless

complete sacrifice the priests used that word

did you know the artists use this word

oh there was a great deal of art back in

this day all of us have been through the

museums and we've seen the Roman art and

the Greek art and the Jewish art

and did you know that when an artist had finished

finished

whatever he was preparing be it a mosaic

a drawing

he would look at it and he would say to telestay

telestay

it is finished

what he meant by that was every color

was in place everything

to be there's a pattern here there's a

picture here and you can look at it it's

not like some of the art we see today

I recall walking to an into an art

gallery in the city of Cincinnati

and they're on the wall was a frame 18

inches by 24 inches and in the frame was

a matting of white and on that matting

was a solid black canvas

no picture no etching just a solid black

canvas and it was for sale

and I looked at it and I said that's not finished

finished

now perhaps I don't appreciate Modern

Art if that is modern art

I always enjoy walking through the art galleries

and it's difficult to enjoy a picture

that's not finished

our greatest picture of George

ever since the creation of The World God

had been painting a picture

God had put the universe out there God

had planted

trees and flowers God had made man

God called Israel

and God had to make a tabernacle and God

did this and God did that and we saw

parts of the picture but nothing seemed

to fit together even the Old Testament

prophets were not sure what was going on

some of them saw a messiah who would

suffer and die some of them saw a

messiah who would reign in glory and

they argued with each other and said

your denomination is wrong we're right

but none of them saw the whole picture

and Moses added to the mural and Samuel

added to the mural David came along and

added Isaiah took his brush and he added

to it

but it wasn't until Calvary

where Jesus Christ dipped the brush in

his own blood

that the picture was finished

and the master artist who had framed the

universe the master artist who had

framed all of history

by whom the Ages were framed said

said

to tell us die it's finished now you can

look at the picture and you can see what

God is doing

that's why my friend if you take the

cross out of the Bible

you don't have the whole picture

you'll never understand why God called

Abraham and asked him to put his son on

the altar you'll never understand why

God Called Moses and told him to build a

tabernacle you'll never understand why

Isaiah the prophet talked about one who

was suffering one who was rejected

to tell us diet was an artist's word

Calvary puts the whole picture together

the slaves used this word and the

priests used this word

the artist used this word

and would you believe that if you went

down to the marketplace you'd hear the

merchants using this word

have you ever been in an oriental

marketplace where they're haggling and

arguing over prices and values and

amounts and commodities and finally they

arrive at a price and you give him the

money and he says to tell us die the

if you had a mortgage with some Merchant

back in our Lord's day and you were able

to pay off the mortgage

and you brought your mortgage papers

down to the firm he would accept your money

money

and he would write on the receipt to

tell us die the debt has been paid it is

fully paid and it always will be paid I

well that says something to us as

Sinners doesn't it

that says to me there was a time when I

was in debt to God

God said here is my standard and I said

I can't live up to that standard he said

you are guilty I said I know I'm guilty

he says the wages of sin is death

but Jesus Paid It All

all to him I owe

sin had left a Crimson Stain he washed

it white as snow

Jesus Christ took my spiritual bankruptcy

bankruptcy

and he substituted his spiritual solvency

solvency

my Lord took my bank book and he wrote

across it righteous he took my death and

he wrote across it to telestyle it is finished

finished

it has been fully paid completely paid

finally paid and it always will be paid

and no claim can ever be made against

you again

it was a familiar word

and as you and I come to the Lord's

table I hope that we'll hear that word

the servant did the work

he offered the perfect sacrifice he

finished the picture of Revelation and

made it clear

he paid the debt

it was a familiar word secondly that was spoken

spoken

by a faithful Savior

he shouted it

it is finished

he had Faithfully finished the work that

God gave him to do he was faithful

as you read the life of our Lord Jesus

given to us in the Gospels

you find that from the very beginning

from the very beginning he was conscious

of a work he had to do in Hebrews

chapter 10 we have the birth of our Lord

Jesus and when he came into the world he

said sacrifice and offering is not what

you want you've prepared me a body I

come to do your Will O God he was born

to do God's will when he was just a

young man

just a lad of 12.

he left his parents one day and they

found him three days later in the temple

remember that

and they said we've been looking for you Sorrowing

Sorrowing

and he was shocked he said why don't you

know I must be about my father's business

business

even at the age of 12 our Lord knew he

had a work to do

when he began his ministry he went to

that wedding Feast they have no wine

he said to his mother gently woman what

have I had to do with thee my hour has

not yet come

he knew he had a job to do and an hour

in which to do it all the way through

the Gospel of John he talks like this he

says my food is to do the will of him

that sent me and to finish his work they

sought to take him but they could not

his hour had not come they sought to

arrest him they could not his hour had

come then finally we hear father The

in the amount of transfiguration

our Lord talked with Moses and Elijah

about his decease his Exodus that he

would accomplish at Jerusalem

he had a work to accomplish he said one

day I have a baptism to be baptized with

and how I am constrained until it be accomplished

accomplished

his whole life was motivated by the

God the father had finished the old

creation and God the son was now going

to finish the new creation

and he did that work in spite of Satan's

opposition he did that work in spite of

his nation's rejection he did that work

in spite of the Apostles own

misunderstanding his family's own

misunderstanding he just kept going going

and he was able to say to tell us die it

was a familiar word spoken by a faithful Savior

Savior

may I remind you before we look at the

third fact

that our lord Jesus is still faithful

he's the same yesterday and today and

forever on the cross he Faithfully

finished the work today on the throne he

is a merciful and faithful high priest

and he's faithful to forgive

if we confess our sins he's faithful and

just to forgive us our sins he's

faithful to

session God is faithful and will not

permit you to be tempted above that you

are able

he's faithful to keep us I know whom I

have believed

and I am persuaded that he is able to

keep that which I have committed unto

him against that day are you trusting

this faithful Savior

to tell us that it was a familiar word

spoken by a faithful Savior about a

finished work

it is finished

what was finished

well the types and the prophecies were finished

finished

now we can look back at Genesis and

exodus and Isaiah in Psalms and the

light from Calvary Shines on that page

and we say we see it we understand it

Genesis chapter 3 verse 15 God said that the

the

son of the woman the seed of the woman

would crush

the head of the serpent that happened at

the cross

Jesus Christ defeated principalities and

powers and made a display of them openly

he openly put them to shame when he said

as you walk through the Tabernacle

you say what does all this mean

here's this huge Brazen altar where the

blood is shed oh those sacrifices that's Jesus

Jesus

well here's the Laver where you wash oh

he's the one who cleanses us did you

know that when the veil of the

Tabernacle was torn in Two For the First

Time people could see that the

arrangement of the furniture was in the

shape of a cross

the Old Testament types and prophecies

were fulfilled it is finished

the law was fulfilled now this bothers

some people they say do you mean that

God abrogated his law no

no God fulfilled his law

God maintained his law in the death of

Jesus Christ on the cross God met the

righteous demands of his holy law and

now that he has met them we can be made

righteous in Jesus Christ

the Cross of Christ does not destroy the

law it establishes the law God used his

own law to set us free from the law

Galatians chapter 3 verse 13 says that

when Jesus died on the cross he bore the

curse of the law the law can no more

curse you if you're saved there is

therefore now no condom Foundation to

for the spirit of life in Christ Jesus

has made us free from the law of sin and death

death

for what the law could not do in that it

was weak through the flesh God sending

his own son in the likeness of sinful

flesh and for sin condemn sin in the

flesh that the righteousness of the law

might be fulfilled in us who walk not

after the flesh but after the spirit the

law has been finished free from the law

oh happy condition

in Colossians chapter 2 verse 14 Paul

puts it so vividly Paul says Jesus

Christ took that Bond of the law that

was against us and he nailed it to his cross

the law was finished

and so today we don't celebrate Jewish

holy days and holidays

we don't bring sacrifices we don't have

a priesthood we are a priesthood

we have no altar

because the sacrifice has been finished

the work of Salvation is finished

and the greatest commentary on this is

in Hebrews chapter 9 and I'm going to

read it to you

Hebrews chapter 9 verse 24 would you listen

listen

imagine yourself to be this synagogue

congregation that had received this

letter to the Hebrews and you're

concerned you can see the temple you

can't see the Heavenly Temple you can

see the Earthly sacrifices you can't see

the Heavenly sacrifice Christ you can

see the Earthly priests which you can't

see your high priest up in heaven and

Hebrews is saying don't go back don't go

back go ahead go on

why it's all been finished why go back

to that which is unfinished

go ahead because what you have in Christ

is finished why go back to the Shadows

go on into the light for Christ is not

entered into the holy places made with

hands which are the figures of the true

but into heaven itself now to appear in

the presence of God for us nor yet that

he should offer himself often as the

high priest entereth into the holy place

every year with the blood of others for

then must he often have suffered since

the foundation of the world but now Once

In the End of the Age hath he appeared

to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself

himself

and as it is appointed unto man wants to

die but after this the Judgment so

Christ was once offered to Bear the sins

of many and unto them that look for him

shall he appear the second time apart

from sin unto salvation now the law

having a shadow of good things to come

and not the very image of these things

can never with those sacrifices which

they offered year by year continually

make those who come to it perfect

for then would they not have ceased to

be offered because the worshipers once

purged should have no more consciousness

of sins

but in those sacrifices there is a

remembrance again made of sins every year

year

for it is not possible that the blood of

bulls and of goats should take away sins

wherefore when he cometh into the world

he says sacrifice and offering thou

wouldest not but a body hast thou

prepared me invert offerings and

sacrifices for sins thou Hast had no pleasure

pleasure

then said I lo I come in the volume of

the book it is written of me to do thy

will o God

verse 10. by which will we are

Sanctified through the offering of the

body of Jesus Christ once for all

and every priest standeth daily

ministering and offering often the same

sacrifices which can never take away

sins but this man after he had offered

one sacrifice for sins forever sat down

on the right hand of God

from henceforth expecting till his

enemies be made his footstool

for by one offering he hath perfected

forever them that are sanctified

and their sins and iniquities will I

remember no more

the Old Testament sacrifice

was repeated over and over again the

blood could cover sin the blood could

never cleanse sin but this man offered

one sacrifice

never again to be repeated

that takes away sin

the Old Testament sacrifices were

imperfect they were Shadows

animals can never meet the moral demands

for humans

no animal ever died voluntarily and yet

Jesus the God man the perfect man came

and voluntarily died for us

the Old Testament sacrifice is only brought

brought

ceremonial purification on the outside

but Jesus Christ brings spiritual

purification on the inside he touches

the conscience and you're able to say

praise God my conscience is clear before

God because Jesus has died for me

the Old Testament priest didn't sit down

there were no chairs in the Tabernacle

his work was never finished

when Jesus Christ died on the cross

he shouted a familiar word to tell us I

spoken by a faithful Savior about a

finished work and he sat down when he

returned to heaven

because his work was finished

father I have finished the work

which thou gave us me to do now since

salvation is a finished work

all you have to do is receive it

it's finished it's complete you can't

add anything to it

and you dare not take anything from it

and you must not substitute anything for it

it stands alone unique eternal

and you either receive it

and you're saved

some years ago

a British mother was greatly concerned

about her teenage son oh he was a good

boy but he wasn't converted

and left her children in the care of

another and while she was on this

holiday she got a tremendous burden for

her son so she went off to a room and

she knelt down and she prayed that God

while she was praying

her son was back home looking for

something to do and he rummaged around

in the library and he found a pamphlet

and he knew at the beginning of the

pamphlet there would be a story and at

the end there would be a story and in

between there would be preaching

and so he decided he would read the two

stories and forget about the preaching

but as he was reading He Came Upon a

phrase that stopped him it arrested him

the finished work of Christ

and he looked at it the finished work of Christ

Christ

and he said out loud if this work is finished

finished

then all I need do is receive it and

right there while the boy was reading

and the mother was praying miles away he

bowed his heart and received Christ as

his savior

his name

James Hudson Taylor

the man whose missionary Enterprise

there once was a very eccentric

evangelist whose name was Alexander

Wooten even his name is eccentric

I think it was Alexander Wooten who used

to open his umbrella and stick his

umbrella in the ground then March around

it until a crowd gathered then pick it

one day Mr Wooten was busy with

something in a smart alec young man came

along and said sir what must I do to be saved

saved

and Wooten didn't even look at him he

just said he's too late [Music]

[Music]

the shocked the sophisticated smart Alec

and he said well what must I do to be

saved too late

do you mean sir I can't be saved I

didn't say that

I said it's too late

all that has been done to save your soul

has been done

it's finished

all you need to do is receive it and the

boy was saved

what must you do to be saved

it's been done

not what my hands do but what he did

it's glorious to know that it's finished

Jesus did not make the down payment and

then say keep up the installments you'll

get to heaven

oh we sang it before

lifted up was he to die it is finished

was his cry now in heaven exalted High

hallelujah what a savior is he your savior

savior

are you depending on his finished

finished

work to tell us die

the shout of victory

thank you Father

that our Lord held nothing back he gave

his arm

I pray that today there might be those

who will trust Christ rest upon this
