Jesus says “it is finished” because as he bowed his head, gave up his spirit, and breathed his last, he finished the penalty for our sins, if we confess and believe that He died on the cross and rose three days later. This is what Easter is really about. Happy Easter!
“It is finished” - Jesus
Jesus said this on the cross as he breathed his last. “It” is the penalty for our sins. Jesus payed this penalty by living a completely perfect life and being crucified as a completely innocent man.
As a Christian, if you feel defeated, Easter reminds us that death will not and did not prevail! Thousands of years ago when Christ died and rose again on Easter, death was defeated. We know this because Christ said on the cross “It is finished.”.
