IT IS FINISHED
John +19:30
Morning Meditation +11/17/2013
Verse 30 says, “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he
bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”
The words in this meditation that I am especially concerned with are the words “It is finished.”
They translate one word (tetelestai) and it is a perfect passive indicative verb. The perfect tense
represents completed action in the past that completed action having present results. The
completed action in the past gathers up all that Jesus did in the plan of God from eternity past,
including his incarnation and perfect life, his trial and crucifixion until the point in time where he
said “It is finished.” Now at that point of time God is satisfied in and through the person of
Christ for the sins of the world so that a finished salvation can be offered to an unsaved world
through the preaching of the gospel. The passive voice means that he, as the subject, has been
the one on whom redemption has depended, and all that justice demands as a penalty for sin has
just been finished in him as man’s substitute, i.e., he received the action of divine wrath and
satisfied it completely so that he could say, “it is finished.”
Robertson says in his word pictures: “A cry of victory in the hour of defeat like ‘nenikêka’ in
John +16:33"
There are several words that are used in Scripture that are synonymous with salvation that are
finished because of the truth that Jesus declared when he said, “It is finished.”
If Justification is finished, the believer is no longer condemned. Justification removes one from
the penalty of the law. He is therefore not condemned. Romans 8:1 says, “There is therefore now
no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. . . ” How could this verse say “there is
therefore now no condemnation,” if justification had not been accomplished in such a way as to
remove any possibility of change of status in the future? We have a finished salvation so that when we receive Christ by faith we enter into a relationship with God that removes the threat of
future change. In other words sin in the life of a believer does not change God’s mind about his
justifying act. He chastens us because of sin but we remain participants in a finished salvation
that needs nothing added and can have nothing subtracted. When Jesus said “It is finished” he
meant it and it stands before God permanently without the chance of change. We are no long
condemned.
If Redemption is finished, the believer is no longer in bondage. Galatians 4:3-7 says, “Even so
we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the
fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To
redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because
ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through
Christ.” The word “bondage” in verse three is “douloo” which means “to make a slave of, to
reduce to bondage.” It is a perfect passive participle which means that this slavery had been
accomplished in the past and remained that way for those who had not been redeemed. The word
“redeem” in verse five is “exagorazo” and means “to buy out of
