The Word of God (the Bible) is a compilation of hidden treasures and the more we search, the more it comes alive.
Most of us are familiar with the seven sayings of Jesus, when he was crucified to the the Cross for our sins, to make the payment to God so we can be restored back into a relationship with God. The sixth saying on the Cross is “Tetelastai” which means “It is Finished”
It is Finished is recorded 3 times in the Bible.
First, it is in Genesis (first book of the Bible) – Genesis 2:2 – where it is recorded that God had finished the work (of his Creation)
Second, it is on the Cross (central core of the Bible) – John 19:30 – where Jesus says, it is Finished, meaning that “It have been paid in full”, “The debt is no more”.
Thirdly, it is in Revelation (last book of the Bible) – Revelation 16:17 – where from out of the temple, came a loud voice saying “It is Finished” meaning Evil no longer has a chance against God.
Interestingly, the Genesis, this saying is at the end of the sixth day and beginning of the seventh. On the Cross, it is the end of the sixth saying and the beginning of the seventh and in Revelation, it is at the end of the sixth bowl of wrath and the beginning of the seventh.
Truly from Genesis (alpha) to Revelation (omega), It is Finished because of what Jesus did on the Cross.
