What Was Finished?
It is finished; that is, the whole will of God:
That He should be born.
Suffer shame and reproach and die.
The whole work his Father gave him to do:
To preach the Gospel.
To work miracles.
To obtain eternal salvation for all people.
All which were now done, or as good as done.
There were a few loose ends to tie up - like the devil.
The whole righteousness of the law was now fulfilled.
Sin was made an end of.
Full atonement and satisfaction for it were given.
Complete pardon was purchased for all.
All sickness and disease was carried away by Him.
All enemies were about to be conquered.
None of these things can be undone.
Once He finishes off the final victory in hell itself:
He will sit at the right hand of the Father.
Mission Accomplished.
(John 19:30)
