IT IS FINISHED

     Painting by Stan Hamilton

 ²⁸Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." ²⁹A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. ³⁰When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.  John 19:28-30

Jesus had completed the task he had come to earth to do.  He had conquered sin, death and hell for us.  In three days He would conquer death.
