Sermons About Conquest
The Word of Victory
Famous Last words "The Word of Victory" John 19:30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Tetelestai= This Greek word speaks of something being finished, completed, or accomplished. As we observe this cry from the cross we see: 1. Completion Christ was declaring that: * He had fulfilled the words foretold by the prophets. * He had finished the work of salvation. 2. Conquest On the cross Christ gained victory over: * Society * Sin * Satan 3. Commitment This involved Christ's: * Obedience to the Father
