“It is finished” is a statement full of meaning, but at the very least, it was about His work of redemption. It spoke of His full payment of ransom to free us from sin and judgment. It also ushered us into the new covenant relationship with God. The Lord’s final words “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit” shows us how believers ought to die, with hearts wholly trusting in God. May the Lord teach us and propel us to stand firmly on His finished work and trust in Him more in life and death in His footsteps.
