    Uploaded by

    Rhea Bernabe
    Jesus lived and died for one purpose - to complete the work God had given him to do. As Jesus was dying on the cross, he said "it is finished" because that work was completed. Specifically, Jesus fulfilled God's promises in scripture, satisfied God's justice, paid the debt owed to God, defeated the fear of death, and destroyed Satan's power over people.

     NOTES  FOR  “  IT  IS  FINISHED”  


     

    “Knowing that ALL was NOW COMPLETED, and so that the Scripture would be
    fulfilled, Jesus said, ‘I am thirsty’... After Jesus was given a drink he said, “IT IS
    FINISHED!” And with that, he bowed his head and GAVE UP his spirit.” John 19:28-30

    This  is  the  sole  goal  of  his  life,  for  his  entire  life  Jesus  had  one  overarching  goal.  John  4:34  “I  
    must  FINISH  I  [I  must  finish…]  THE  WORK  that  God  gave  me  to  do.”

    One word tetelestai…

    5 USES OF “TETELESTAI”

    · Servant: The task is completed!

    · Judge: Justice has been served!

    · Accountant: The debt has been paid in full!

    · Artist: The picture is finished!

    · Priest: The perfect offering has been given!

    For his entire time on earth Jesus had 1 overarching goal: Finish the work that God
    has set out for me. IN THE END WE HAVE VICTORY!

    What were a few of the things that Jesus “finished” at that moment on the cross.

    1. HE FULFILLED the promises

    “Jesus said‘This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be
    fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the
    Psalms.’ Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
    He told them, ‘This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the
    dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be
    preached in his name to all nations.” Luke 24:44-47 (NIV

     “All  of  God's  promises  have  been  fulfilled  in  him!  That’s  why  we  say  ‘Amen!’  when  we  give  
    glory  to  God  through  Christ.”  2  Corinthians  1:20  (NLT)
    2. HE SATISFIED God’s Justice

    “The law of Moses could not save us because of our sinful nature. But God
    put into effect a different plan to save us. He sent his own Son in a human
    body like ours, except that ours are sinful. God destroyed sin's control over us
    by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that THE
    REQUIREMENT OF THE LAW would be fully accomplished for us....” Romans 8:3-
    4 (NLT)

    3. HE PAID OFF the debt owed to God

    “We owed a debt because we’ve broken God's laws. That debt listed all the
    rules we’ve failed to follow. But God forgave our debt, and he cancelled our
    debt by nailing it to the cross.” Colossians 2:14 (ICB)

    4. HE DEFEATED the fear of death

    “Jesus became flesh and blood by being born in human form. For only as a
    human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the
    Devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he deliver those who
    have lived all their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.” Hebrews 2:14-15 (NLT

    5. HE DESTROYED Satan power to control me

    “God has freed us from the power of darkness, and brought us into the Kingdom
    of his dear Son.” Colossians 1:13 (NCV)

    “God took away Satan's power to accuse you of sin, and He openly displayed to
    the whole world Christ's triumph at the cross where your sins were all taken
    away.” Colossians 2:15 (LB)
    FOR small GROUPS

    “Knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, ‘I am
    thirsty’… After Jesus was given a drink he said, “It is finished!” And with that, he bowed his head
    and gave up his spirit.” John 19:28-30

    Jesus  became  a  man,  lived  and  died  for  one  purpose  –  to  do  the  work  the  Father  had  given  him  to  
    complete.  While  he  was  dying  on  the  cross  Jesus  shouted  out  “It  is  finished”  because  that  work  was  
    completed.  Jesus  accomplished  these  five  things:  1)  Jesus  fulfilled  what  God  had  promised  in  His  
    Word,  2)  he  satisfied  what  God’s  justice  required,  3)  he  paid  off  the  debt  I  owed  God,  4)  he  defeated  
    the  fear  of  death,  and  5)  he  destroyed  Satan’s  power  to  control  us.  Now  let’s  talk  it  over.  

     
    OPEN YOUR GROUP WITH A PRAYER. THIS IS ONLY A GUIDE – SELECT THE POINTS YOU WANT TO DISCUSS.
     

    “After  Jesus  had  finished  his  work,  he  became  the  source  of  eternal  salvation  for  everyone  

    who  obeys  him.”      Hebrews  5:9  (GW)  

    1. Since  God’s  justice  demands  that  lawbreakers  be  punished  and  none  of  us  can  keep  every  law,  
    do  you  believe  God  can  forgive  your  worst  sin?  Why  or  why  not?  What  steps  of  faith  do  you  
    need  to  take  to  become  more  obedient  to  God?  
     

    “We  owed  a  debt  because  we’ve  broken  God’s  laws.  That  debt  listed  all  the  rules  we’ve  failed  to  
    follow.    But  God  forgave  our  debt,  and  he  cancelled  our  debt  by  nailing  it  to  the  cross.”  Colossians  
    2:14  (GW)  

    2. How  did  we  become  indebted  to  God?  If  Christ  cancelled  our  debt  by  his  death  on  the  cross,  are  
    there  any  places  where  you  are  paying  your  own  debt?    
     

    “Jesus  became  flesh  and  blood  by  being  born  in  human  form.  For  only  as  a  human  being  could  he  die,  
    and  only  by  dying  could  he  break  the  power  of  the  Devil,  who  had  the  power  of  death.  Only  in  this  
    way  could  he  deliver  those  who  have  lived  all  their  lives  as  slaves  to  the  fear  of  dying.”  Hebrews  2:14-­‐
    15  (NLT)  

    3. What  are  your  fears  about  death  or  dying?  Where  do  your  fears  come  from?  What  does  Christ’s  
    death  and  resurrection  say  about  death?  How  does  knowing  Christ  defeated  death  help  you  
    believe  death  is  only  a  transfer  and  free  you  from  the  fear  of  dying?    
     
    “God  took  away  Satan’s  power  to  accuse  you  of  sin,  and  He  openly  displayed  to  the  
    whole  world  Christ’s  triumph  at  the  cross  where  your  sins  were  all  taken  away.”  
    Colossians  2:15  (LB)  

    4. When  we  give  our  lives  to  Christ,  Satan’s  power  over  us  is  broken.  Yet,  we  can  still  struggle  when  
    he  gets  a  foothold  in  our  lives.  Talk  about  an  issue  you  may  still  struggle  with  that  you  need  
    God’s  power  to  gain  victory  over.  Pray  and  ask  God  to  redeem  this  part  of  your  life.  
     

    Diving  Deeper  (optional)  


    1. Think  of  the  last  time  you  gave  into  a  temptation.  How  did  you  encounter  God  in  the  midst  of  it?  
    How  did  that  experience  help  you  develop  strategies  to  keep  your  eyes  fixed  on  God  in  order  to  
    overcome  temptations?  
    2. In  your  life,  how  does  the  devil  try  to  convince  you  that  because  of  your  sins,  God  could  never  
    love  you?  How  does  Romans  8:1  “There  is  no  condemnation  for  those  who  are  in  Christ  Jesus,”  
    remind  you  that  God  delights  in  you  as  his  precious  child  even  with  all  your  faults  and  failings?
