Tetelestai

About this episode

Pastor Mike explores the theological significance of the Greek word Tetelestai, emphasizing its meaning in the context of Jesus Christ's mission and His declaration of completion on the cross.

Pastor Mike delves into the profound theological weight of the single Greek word Tetelestai , famously translated as "It is finished". He explores how this word signifies the successful completion of Jesus Christ's mission on earth—His substitutionary death on the cross for sinners . To provide deeper context, Mike explains the word's historical use among servants, who would declare " Tetelestai " to their masters once a specific job or assignment was fully accomplished . By framing Jesus as the ultimate "suffering servant," the discussion emphasizes that His final cry from the cross was not one of defeat, but a triumphant declaration that the work of redemption was perfectly and eternally completed.
