Speaker 1: If you pull out your message notes. I want us,
Speaker 1: on this good Friday to look at the theme of
Speaker 1: there's nothing more for you to do. There's nothing more
Speaker 1: for you to do. Now, I want to begin with
Speaker 1: a question. It's a little true confession here. How many
Speaker 1: of you have ever said or thought, I just can't
Speaker 1: seem to get it all finished. Cat, I see your hands.
Speaker 1: The rest of you are liars, all right. How many
Speaker 1: you have ever thought this, if I could just get
Speaker 1: a week to catch up, then I could get everything completed.
Speaker 1: How many of you have ever thought that, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the bad news. You're never gonna
Speaker 1: get it all done. You're just never gonna get it
Speaker 1: all done. You will die with unfinished business. Because we
Speaker 1: live on a broken planet, and we have a limited
Speaker 1: amount of time we all do, we all die with
Speaker 1: unfinished business. The world is filled with unfinished projects, unfinished dreams,
Speaker 1: unfinished buildings, unfinished national monuments. I remember many many years ago,
Speaker 1: when my kids were young, I took the three kids
Speaker 1: up to see Mount Rushmore, the National Monument, and the
Speaker 1: first thing Matthew said was, when are they going to
Speaker 1: finish it? Dad? That's true, It's not finished. The guy
Speaker 1: ran out of money and died, and he left it unfinished.
Speaker 1: His son picked up the slack, worked on it for
Speaker 1: four months, and gave up. One of our national monuments
Speaker 1: is unfinished. In fact, only one person ever in history
Speaker 1: has ever finished everything he had to do before he died.
Speaker 1: That was Jesus Christ. In John chapter four, verse thirty four,
Speaker 1: Jesus says this, I must finish. I must finish the
Speaker 1: work that God gave me to do. Fortunately for you
Speaker 1: and me, he did finish it. He did finish it.
Speaker 1: In fact, on this day, Good Friday, two thousand or
Speaker 1: so years ago, Jesus was hanging on the cross and
Speaker 1: at the end of his suffering. In John chapter nineteen,
Speaker 1: the words of Jesus are recorded, and it says this
Speaker 1: John nineteen twenty eight and thirty, knowing that all was
Speaker 1: now completed. It's all finished. Knowing that all of it
Speaker 1: was now completed, and so that scripture would be fulfilled,
Speaker 1: Jesus said, I'm thirsty. And after Jesus was given a drink,
Speaker 1: he said, it is finished. And with that he bowed
Speaker 1: his head and gave up his spirit. Now this phrase
Speaker 1: it is finished, is called the word of victory. And
Speaker 1: in the Greek carayer it's an heirest indicative tance of
Speaker 1: where actually Jesus shouted these words. The reason he asked
Speaker 1: for a drink. He'd been on the cross for hours.
Speaker 1: His voice is parched, he doesn't have any voice, but
Speaker 1: he wants everybody to hear this, so he asks for
Speaker 1: a drink. They give him a drink of water, and
Speaker 1: then he shouts out, it is finished. It's finished, It's done,
Speaker 1: It's completed. Now this is the word of victory. Throughout history,
Speaker 1: there have been many memorable words of victory and battles,
Speaker 1: in sports contests, in you know, scientific discoveries. There are
Speaker 1: a lot of famous words that have been shouted as
Speaker 1: words of victory. I got to thinking that, you know,
Speaker 1: this July will be the fiftieth anniversary of man walking
Speaker 1: on the Moon. This July the fiftieth anniversary nineteen sixty nine.
Speaker 1: July twenty ninety sixty nine, Neil Armstrong and his fellow
Speaker 1: astronauts landed the lunar module on the on the moon,
Speaker 1: and his famous words were, the eagle has landed. How
Speaker 1: many of you remember that the eagle has landed. I
Speaker 1: don't remember, and I think I was in my mother's
Speaker 1: womb at the time I was a little young. People
Speaker 1: have told me about this, that he said the eagle
Speaker 1: is landed. But these three words, it is finished. These
Speaker 1: are the most important words in history. Nothing compares to
Speaker 1: these words, it is finished. Jesus shout, is it now?
Speaker 1: What's ironic is when Jesus shouted these words from the cross,
Speaker 1: it is finished. Nobody understood what he meant. Nobody there
Speaker 1: had the slightest idea what Jesus was saying when he
Speaker 1: said it is finished. I'm sure the Roman soldiers thought,
Speaker 1: this radical revolutionary is finished. Fine, we're through with him.
Speaker 1: We've washed our hands. Fine, he's gone. I'm sure the
Speaker 1: religious leaders who had him put on the cross thought
Speaker 1: our competition is finished. We don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: this messiah guy anymore. He's out of here. He's finished. Pilot.
Speaker 1: The governor thought, my political headache is finished. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna have to worry about this guy anymore. Even the disciples,
Speaker 1: the followers of Jesus, probably didn't understand this, and they thought, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's finished. The dreams died, the kingdom isn't here, The
Speaker 1: Romans haven't been overthrowed, thrown and we're we're we're finished.
Speaker 1: I think even the Devil misunderstood this. He thought, the
Speaker 1: son of God is finished. I have won I killed God.
Speaker 1: Nobody understood what Jesus was saying when he said he
Speaker 1: is finished. But Jesus didn't say I am finished, because
Speaker 1: he wasn't. He didn't say I'm finished, He said it
Speaker 1: is finished. What what was finished? His suffering, yes, his pain, yes,
Speaker 1: the humiliation of the cross, drying a criminal's death, yes,
Speaker 1: but so much more. What I want to do for
Speaker 1: just a few seconds tonight is look at the five
Speaker 1: things that Jesus finished on the cross. I don't want
Speaker 1: you ever to misunderstand what this phrase means, because this
Speaker 1: is the central thought of Christianity, of our faith. Now,
Speaker 1: the first thing I need to explain to you is
Speaker 1: that this phrase it is finished is just one word
Speaker 1: in Greek. When Jesus shouted it out, he didn't shout
Speaker 1: three words it is finished. The phrase it is finished
Speaker 1: in Greek is the word to tell us sty, to
Speaker 1: tell us sty. This is a very common Greek word,
Speaker 1: and in ancient Greek society it was used everywhere. It
Speaker 1: had a lot of different meanings. In fact, it had
Speaker 1: five different meanings, and every one of these five different
Speaker 1: meanings Jesus was referring to that when he shouted on
Speaker 1: the cross it is finished. In the first place, it
Speaker 1: was used by servants or employees. And and if you
Speaker 1: had boss and you'd been given a job and you
Speaker 1: finished a job, you would go into the boss and
Speaker 1: say boss or master or whatever to tell us sty,
Speaker 1: I finished a task. Okay, the job is done. The
Speaker 1: job you gave me is completed. And of course Jesus
Speaker 1: was saying that too, the job God gave me is completed.
Speaker 1: But it just meant the job's done. I finished the
Speaker 1: task you gave me. But it's also a legal term,
Speaker 1: and judges would use the word to tell us stye
Speaker 1: in a courtroom. In fact, they would stamp it on
Speaker 1: prison sentences that had been commuted when you had served
Speaker 1: your time. You did the crime, you did your time,
Speaker 1: and you would come back before the judge and the
Speaker 1: judge says, you've paid your debts to to society. Justice
Speaker 1: has been served. You've completed your sentence, you did your time.
Speaker 1: I'll stamp your document to tell us sty justice has
Speaker 1: been served. And Jesus meant that too when he shouted
Speaker 1: it out. It's also an accounting term and accountants would
Speaker 1: stamp it on bills that been paid. It literally means
Speaker 1: paid in full. So if you paid off your car,
Speaker 1: you stamped the bill to telestock. Your car's paid off,
Speaker 1: you own it, free and clear. If your house is
Speaker 1: paid off, you stamp it to telesty, paid and clear,
Speaker 1: paid and full, the debt has been paid. This word
Speaker 1: to telesty is found literally on tens of thousands of
Speaker 1: documents in the ancient Middle Eastern area because it's stamped
Speaker 1: on papyrity, often on tax bills that were paid. They
Speaker 1: have tens of thousands. Archaeologis found tens of thous of
Speaker 1: tax bills where they stamped what Jesus said to telesty,
Speaker 1: meaning paid in full, you've paid your debt. But it's
Speaker 1: also a term that artists would use. And when an
Speaker 1: artist was painting a picture, whether pastels or oils or whatever, charcoal,
Speaker 1: and they're finishing, and they finished, and the very last
Speaker 1: stroke of the brush, when the painting is completed, they
Speaker 1: would say to telesty, the telesty, in other words, the
Speaker 1: picture is complete. It's finished, there are no more details
Speaker 1: to deal with, it's all done. The picture is perfect.
Speaker 1: It's exactly every detail is done. The painting's finished. Finally,
Speaker 1: the fifth way this word was used was used by
Speaker 1: priest Jewish priest when they went to the temple, and
Speaker 1: when they would offer a sacrifice to God, they would
Speaker 1: come out and they would say to tell usty, which
Speaker 1: means the sacrifice has been made. Now all five of
Speaker 1: these phrases. The job is completed, justice has been served,
Speaker 1: the debt has been paid, the picture is finished, the
Speaker 1: sacrifice has been made. Jesus is saying all five of
Speaker 1: these things when he shouts to tell us, stye, it's finished.
Speaker 1: This single word sums up Christianity in a nutshell. If
Speaker 1: you get this one phrase, you will understand how Christianity
Speaker 1: is different from every other faith, whether it's Buddhist, or
Speaker 1: Muslim or Judaism or any other faith. It's all different
Speaker 1: because of this one phrase. It is finished, and there's
Speaker 1: nothing more for you to do. Every year, Christians from
Speaker 1: all over the world remember the death and resurrection of
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ by traveling to Jerusalem, where they walk the
Speaker 1: path that Jesus took on the way to the cross.
Speaker 1: That path is called the Via dol Rosa. Now, since
Speaker 1: you may not be able to ever travel to Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: I want to suggest a way for you to celebrate
Speaker 1: and reflect on and pray about what Jesus did for
Speaker 1: you on the Cross. So I've created a brand new,

Speaker 1: So what did Jesus actually finish on the cross? What
Speaker 1: did he complete by dying on the cross? What did
Speaker 1: he accomplish by dying on the cross? Well, Jesus did
Speaker 1: five things. You might write these down. Number one, the
Speaker 1: first task that Jesus finished on the Cross. Is this
Speaker 1: He fulfilled what God had promised us. He fulfilled what
Speaker 1: God had promised us. Now, for thousands of years, God
Speaker 1: had been promising to send a savior of the world,
Speaker 1: a messiah, a savior to forgive and save us from
Speaker 1: all of our sins. And for thousands of years there
Speaker 1: are hundreds and hundreds of promises of God. Now, not
Speaker 1: only are there hundreds of promises in the Old Testament,
Speaker 1: the old part of the Bible before Jesus called the
Speaker 1: Old Testament, there are three hundred and eighty prophecies. Their
Speaker 1: prediction says, this is what the Messiah will do, This
Speaker 1: is what the coming Savior will do. Remember Christmas under
Speaker 1: you was born this day a savior, who is Christ
Speaker 1: the Lord. When Jesus died on the cross, he fulfilled
Speaker 1: every one of the promises and every one of the
Speaker 1: predictions or the prophecies that had been made for thousands
Speaker 1: of years. You see, in the Old Testament we get
Speaker 1: a partial glimpse of God. We kind of get partially
Speaker 1: the figure, but it's not real clear. But when Jesus comes,
Speaker 1: he fills in all the details. He paints the picture,
Speaker 1: He completes the picture. He gives us what it's like.
Speaker 1: And here's what Jesus told some people after he'd come
Speaker 1: back to life, after he'd raised on Easter Sunday, he's
Speaker 1: talking to some people, and here's what he says. In
Speaker 1: Luke chapter twenty four, verse forty four to forty seven.
Speaker 1: Jesus said, this is what I told you when I
Speaker 1: was still with you. This is before he died. Everything
Speaker 1: must be fulfilled that is written about me in the
Speaker 1: Law of Moses, the prophets, and the Psalms, that's the
Speaker 1: Old Testament. He said, all the stuff that was written
Speaker 1: about me for a thousand years had to be fulfilled.
Speaker 1: Then he opened their minds so they could understand scriptures,
Speaker 1: and he told them this is what is written. The
Speaker 1: Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the
Speaker 1: third Day, and repentance and forgiveness of sin will be
Speaker 1: preached in his name to all nations. He's saying, I
Speaker 1: just fulfilled all of the promises and all the predictions,
Speaker 1: all of the prophecies that had been given for thousands
Speaker 1: of years. Tewod Corinthians chapter one says this verse twenty
Speaker 1: all of God's promises have been fulfilled in him. That's
Speaker 1: why we say Amen, when we give glory to God
Speaker 1: through Christ. There are over seven thousand promises in this
Speaker 1: book and they're all yours to be claimed because of
Speaker 1: what Jesus did. He paid for these promises to be
Speaker 1: fulfilled in your life.
Speaker 3: There's a second thing that Jesus finished for us on
Speaker 3: the cross. He's satisfied what God's justice required. He finished
Speaker 3: that for us. God is a god of justice. God
Speaker 3: is a God who is always fair. People can be unfair.
Speaker 3: God cannot be unfair because he's perfect. So that's who
Speaker 3: he is. And the reason you and I have this
Speaker 3: sense of fairness what's right wrong is because we're created
Speaker 3: in the image of God. God made every one of us,
Speaker 3: and our sense of fairness reflects the fact that God
Speaker 3: is a god of justice and fairness, and God is
Speaker 3: a god of laws. He's the creator and everything that
Speaker 3: he's made runs according to laws that work, and I'm
Speaker 3: glad that they do work. There are laws of physics
Speaker 3: and laws of chemistry and laws of mathematics that work
Speaker 3: every time. That's why the world runs and the universe
Speaker 3: runs like it runs. But it's also true personally. There
Speaker 3: are laws of physical laws and spiritual laws.
Speaker 1: And moral laws. That God gave.
Speaker 3: You can read that God gave his moral laws to
Speaker 3: Moses and to the people of Israel, but it wasn't
Speaker 3: just for them. He said, I want you to take
Speaker 3: these moral laws. I want you to share him with
Speaker 3: the whole world, because it's how relationships work, it's how
Speaker 3: the world works. God gave us these laws, and you
Speaker 3: and I have two problems with that. Number one, we
Speaker 3: can't keep them. We are completely unable to keep all
Speaker 3: of God's perfect laws. Now, some people keep some of
Speaker 3: them some of the time, but none of us keep
Speaker 3: all of them all of the time because we're not perfect.
Speaker 1: None of us are.
Speaker 3: And you want to say the right thing, you don't
Speaker 3: want to hurt somebody, but you end up saying the
Speaker 3: wrong thing.
Speaker 1: You want to do the right.
Speaker 3: Thing, you really committed to it, but you end up
Speaker 3: doing the wrong thing. The Bible says this in Romans
Speaker 3: eight three and four. The law of Moses could not
Speaker 3: save us because of our sinful nature. But God put
Speaker 3: into effect a different plan to save us. He sent
Speaker 3: his own son in a human body like ours, except
Speaker 3: that ours are sinful. God destroyed sins control over us
Speaker 3: by giving his son as a sacrifice for our sins.
Speaker 3: He did this so that the requirement of the law
Speaker 3: would be fully accomplished for us, who no longer follow
Speaker 3: our sinful nature but instead follow the spirit.
Speaker 1: So Jesus, the.
Speaker 3: Only person who ever followed God's law, completely gave himself
Speaker 3: for you and I so that he could offer us
Speaker 3: something we could not attain on our own. God knew
Speaker 3: from the beginning that we could never gain a relationship
Speaker 3: with him by the law.
Speaker 1: The law of Moses could not save us.
Speaker 3: But he also knew that he had a different way
Speaker 3: to solve our problem. The first problem is we're unable
Speaker 3: to keep God's perfect laws. The second problem is justice
Speaker 3: requires that law breakers pay a penalty. If I break
Speaker 3: a law, there is a penalty. Fairness requires consequences to
Speaker 3: all of our actions. If I stole money from you,
Speaker 3: If I was caught stealing money from you and there
Speaker 3: was no consequences for that, that just would not be fair.
Speaker 3: We all know that, and God has this sense of fairness,
Speaker 3: and you and I, in our relationship with him, we
Speaker 3: know that we've all broken a lot of God's laws.
Speaker 3: But there's some good news. This is what Jesus finished
Speaker 3: for us on the cross. Jesus did for us, but
Speaker 3: God's justice requires from us. In fact, you might write
Speaker 3: that down. Jesus did for us what God's justice requires
Speaker 3: from us. He finished what we could not finish, so
Speaker 3: he could offer us something we could never gain on
Speaker 3: our own. Hebrews chapter five, verse nine, This verse up
Speaker 3: on the screen. After Jesus finished his work on the cross,
Speaker 3: he became the source of eternal salvation for everyone who
Speaker 3: obeys him. Jesus is able to do that because Jesus
Speaker 3: satisfied God's justice. He did it for me, he did
Speaker 3: it for you, He did it for all mankind, and
Speaker 3: he offers that to us. Romans ten to four says
Speaker 3: Christ ended the law so that anyone who believes in
Speaker 3: him may be right with God. Anyone who believes in him.
Speaker 3: How does this become true in your life? You believe,
Speaker 3: you trust in what he did for you, and he says,
Speaker 3: I want to give you what you could not gain
Speaker 3: on your own. Romans chapter five, verse eighteen sums up
Speaker 3: everything we've been talking about the last couple of minutes.
Speaker 3: Here it is in a nutshell. Just as one person,
Speaker 3: Adam did it wrong and got us all in trouble.
Speaker 3: This trouble with sin and death. Another person did it right, Jesus,
Speaker 3: and got us out of it. But more than just
Speaker 3: getting us out of trouble, he got us into life.
Speaker 1: So Jesus fulfilled God's promises on the cross, and Jesus
Speaker 1: satisfied God's justice on the cross. Here's the third thing
Speaker 1: that he completed on the cross. He paid off the
Speaker 1: debt I owed God. He paid off the debt that
Speaker 1: I owed God. You owe something to everybody you've ever
Speaker 1: hurt or offended or of sinned against. You owe something
Speaker 1: to them. But you're also in deeper debt to God,
Speaker 1: and that's a debt you would never possibly be able
Speaker 1: to repay on your own. But here's the good news. Colossians,
Speaker 1: Chapter two. The Bible says this verse fourteen. We owe
Speaker 1: a debt because we've broken God's laws, and that debt
Speaker 1: listed all the rules we've failed to follow. But here's
Speaker 1: a good part. But God forgave our debt, and he
Speaker 1: canceled our debt by nailing it to the cross. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine if tonight you went home and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you got a call from Visa or MasterCard, and
Speaker 1: they called up and said, we have decided to cancel
Speaker 1: all your debt. We're just gonna wipe it out. Your
Speaker 1: record is wipe clean. You are forgiven, it's all forgotten.
Speaker 1: We're calling it our new tetelesty program. Paid in full.
Speaker 1: You're free. Would you like that? Oh yeah? Would you
Speaker 1: feel free? Oh yeah? You'd want to rejoice, because that's
Speaker 1: what happens when your debt is forgiven. That's what Jesus
Speaker 1: Christ did on the Cross. He paid off the debt
Speaker 1: that I owed God Colossians, Chapter one, verse fourteen. God's
Speaker 1: son paid the price. God's son paid the price to
Speaker 1: free us, which means that our sins are forgiven. Which
Speaker 1: sins are forgiven, all of them, all of them, every
Speaker 1: single one of them. Just to have it all wiped off,
Speaker 1: to have your debt paid off by somebody else, that's
Speaker 1: an amazing thing that Jesus Christ did. A couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, Kay and I decided we had never seen
Speaker 1: the colors of New England in the fall, so we
Speaker 1: flew back to Boston and we rented a car and
Speaker 1: drove around the thirteen states in New England for about
Speaker 1: ten days just looking at all the color, and in
Speaker 1: one of the little hotels that we checked in doo.
Speaker 1: As we walked in, we saw a family standing over here.
Speaker 1: And as we're checking in, I noticed they're like staring
Speaker 1: at us. You could feel like their eyes are burning
Speaker 1: in staring at us. And so yeah, I didn't pay
Speaker 1: any much much more attention to it. But then we
Speaker 1: went up to our room. Then the next morning we
Speaker 1: go down and I go down to check out, and
Speaker 1: as I start to check out, the says, well, sir,
Speaker 1: your bill has already been taken care of. I said
Speaker 1: by who? He said, by that guy, And evidently the
Speaker 1: guy had recognized this and he had already gone over
Speaker 1: that morning and paid off my night's bill. I go,
Speaker 1: you're my new best friend. So I went over and
Speaker 1: talked to him for a while, met him and found
Speaker 1: out what state he was from. And he listens to
Speaker 1: Daily Hope on the radio. And I just going, you're
Speaker 1: my new best friend. Jesus wants to be your best friend.
Speaker 1: He's just paid off all your debt that you owed
Speaker 1: to God. Now the Bible says this in Hebrews chapter ten,
Speaker 1: verse eighteen. Now that sins have been forgiven, there's no
Speaker 1: need to offer any more sacrifices. You know what your
Speaker 1: problem is. Your problem is you keep trying to pay
Speaker 1: for sins that have already been paid for. You keep
Speaker 1: trying to pay for sins in your life that have
Speaker 1: already been paid for. Jesus Christ paid for every sin
Speaker 1: you have ever committed and ever will. He's even paid
Speaker 1: for the ones you haven't done yet, the ones you're
Speaker 1: gonna do next week, next year, and in ten years.
Speaker 1: When he paid on the cross for all the sins
Speaker 1: of humanity, he died for every one of them. There's
Speaker 1: not any that's left out. But so many people go
Speaker 1: around caring unnatural guilt because they don't realize their sin
Speaker 1: has been forgiven. And in their mind, they're going, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe if I just do this, then God will forgive me.
Speaker 1: Maybe if I do that, then God will forgive me.
Speaker 1: Maybe if I'm good in this area, God will forgive me.
Speaker 1: You're trying to pay for sins that have already been
Speaker 1: paid for. They don't need to be paid for twice.
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ paid for every stupid mistake I've made in life,
Speaker 1: every stupid mistake you've made in life, every sin, every error,
Speaker 1: every fault, every week. You don't need to pay for him.
Speaker 1: That's good news. He paid off the debt that I
Speaker 1: owed God. There is nothing more you can do. There's
Speaker 1: nothing more you can do. It's not like, well, if
Speaker 1: I do this thing now, God's going to smile at
Speaker 1: me and he'll kind of even the score. Here. I
Speaker 1: did all this bad stuff. I gotta do this good
Speaker 1: stuff to make it even. That's not in God's mind.
Speaker 1: There's nothing more you can do. It's already been paid for.
Speaker 1: To tell us, Diy, it is finished, paid in full.
Speaker 1: All your sins have been completely paid for, even the
Speaker 1: future BOS. Today, I want to invite you to join
Speaker 1: me in something that's very close to my heart, fulfilling
Speaker 1: the great commission of Jesus Christ. Sharing the good news
Speaker 1: is the most important thing we do when we work together.
Speaker 1: There's nothing that God cannot do to us. When we're
Speaker 1: unified through daily hope. The message of Jesus Christ is
Speaker 1: now reaching nearly every country in the world. That's one
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety seven nations. We're going to even places
Speaker 1: where it's difficult or dangerous or illegal to talk about
Speaker 1: Christ openly. We're sharing the certain hope of Jesus and
Speaker 1: it's changing lives every single day. Right now, we have
Speaker 1: an incredible opportunity. That's why I'm saying this to you personally.
Speaker 1: There's some very generous friends that have offered to match
Speaker 1: every single gift given to Daily Hope dollar for dollar.
Speaker 1: That means whatever you give today is going to be
Speaker 1: doubled in impact. So I'm asking you. I want to
Speaker 1: encourage you to give as God leads you today, and
Speaker 1: I want you to pray this prayer, God, what do
Speaker 1: you want to give through me? Not say God, what
Speaker 1: should I give? Say God? What do you want to
Speaker 1: give through me? That's called giving by faith, giving by revelation,
Speaker 1: and your gift will go twice as far to share
Speaker 1: the certain hope of Jesus Christ and make disciples all
Speaker 1: around the world. God bless you.
Speaker 2: Please consider giving a financial gift. Really generous friends of
