Listen "It is Finished"
Episode Synopsis
**Harvest Thanksgiving Evening Service.** When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. (John 19:30) *Sermon Summary:* The sermon centers on the profound significance of Jesus' final words, 'It is finished,' at the moment of His death, declaring the complete and perfect fulfilment of God's redemptive plan. Drawing from John 19:30 and the symbolism of the torn temple veil, it emphasizes that Christ's sacrifice on the cross abolished the need for the Old Testament sacrificial system, opening a new and living way into God's presence through His substitutionary atonement. The sermon underscores the depth of Christ's suffering—not only physical but spiritual, as He bore the eternal wrath of God for sin in a brief, three-hour darkness, making possible eternal reconciliation for all who believe. It contrasts the eternal destiny of those who trust in Christ—eternal life, joy, and communion with God—with the eternal separation and torment of those who reject Him, echoing the cry of abandonment from the cross. The sermon concludes with a sobering call to faith and repentance, urging listeners to recognize that time is finite, the world is temporary, and only those sheltered under Christ's blood will endure the final judgment, when Jesus will return to consummate history and declare, 'It is finished,' not in death, but in victory.
