In this moving Good Friday sermon we explore the profound final words of Jesus on the cross: “It is finished.” Through Scripture, reflection, and powerful imagery, we reveal how these three words mark not a defeat, but the ultimate victory over sin, death, and Satan. Discover how Jesus’ cry of triumph speaks to our unfinished business and offers eternal hope and freedom.
