It Is Finished | Seven Last Words Service | Minister Crystal Latney

About this sermon

“It Is Finished” declares the triumphant completion of Jesus’ redemptive work on the cross. Minister Crystal Latney powerfully describes the scene of the crucifixion—darkness covering the earth, Jesus’ body broken and suffering—yet in that moment of apparent defeat, Christ speaks a victorious, authoritative proclamation: “It is finished.” This statement, translated from the Greek word tetelestai, signifies far more than death—it means completed, accomplished, fulfilled, and settled forever. Jesus was not surrendering; He was declaring victory. First, it means prophecy fulfilled. Every promise, from the Old Testament to the cross, was perfectly completed through Jesus’ life, suffering, and sacrifice. Nothing was left undone—God’s plan unfolded exactly as intended. Second, it means the enemy is defeated. Through His death, Jesus disarmed the powers of sin, death, and Satan. What looked like defeat was actually divine victory—the battle was won. Finally, it means salvation is secured. Jesus paid the full debt of sin—completely and permanently. No further sacrifice is needed. Humanity’s separation from God has been reconciled, and access to eternal life is now available through Him. “It is finished” is both a declaration and a guarantee: the work is complete, the price is paid, and the victory is eternal.
