It Is Finished | Seven Last Words Service | Reverend Dr. Rena Morrow

About this sermon

This powerful and revelatory message centers on Jesus’ final words on the cross, “It is finished,” revealing that what appeared to be an ending was actually the fulfillment of an eternal plan. Far from a moment of defeat, the cross was the public declaration that God’s redemptive work had already been completed before the foundation of the world. Jesus stepped into time to announce what heaven had already settled—salvation was secured, the debt of sin was paid in full, and victory was established. Through the lens of the Greek term “tetelestai,” meaning “paid in full,” we are reminded that every sin, failure, and accusation has been canceled. The message emphasizes that believers are not fighting for victory but from victory. Even in a world filled with chaos, confusion, and struggle, we are living in the tension between what has already been finished and what is still being revealed in God’s timing. The sermon highlights four key truths: the plan of redemption was finished, the price for sin was paid, the power of the enemy was defeated, and the work of salvation was completed. Salvation is not something to be earned through effort, morality, or performance—it is a gift to be received through Jesus Christ. The cross stands as both a legal and spiritual declaration: freedom has been granted, and grace has made a way. “It is finished” is not just a statement—it is a promise, a victory cry, and an invitation to live in the fullness of what Christ has already accomplished John 19:30 1 Peter 1:19-20 Genesis 2:2 Genesis 3 Colossians 2:13-15 Revelation 3:20 #ItIsFinished #SevenLastWords #HolyWeek #JourneyToResurrection #VictoryInChrist #PaidInFull #Tetelestai #FaithOverWorks #GraceWins #CrossPower #SBCPhilly #SharonBaptistChurch Give Online: thesbc.org/giving Text to Give: Text “GIVE” + amount to 610-379-3818 Mail: 3955 Conshohocken Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19131 Follow us: Website: thesbc.org Facebook: Sharon Baptist Church Instagram: @thesbcphilly YouTube: Sharon Baptist Church Philly
