“It is finished” is but one word in the original, yet in that word is wrapped up the Gospel of God; in that word is contained the ground of the believer’s assurance; in that word is discovered the sum of all joy, and the very spirit of all Divine consolation.

“It is finished.” This was not the despairing cry of a helpless martyr; it was not the expression of satisfaction that the termination of His sufferings was now reached; it was not the last gasp of a worn-out life; No, rather was it the declaration on the part of the Divine Redeemer that all for which He came from Heaven to earth to do, was now done; that all that was needed to reveal the full character of God has now been accomplished; that all that was required by the Law before sinners could be saved had now been performed; that the full price of our redemption was now paid.
