Introduction
“It is Finished” τετέλεσται = “Paid off or paid in full”
Jesus is very much in control of this situation even in His frail, human condition.
After caring for the needs of His mother by enlisting John’s help, He now turns to the final moments of His life.
Jesus knew “that all was now τετέλεσται, he had a Scripture to fulfill and something to say...
By saying “I thirst”, Jesus is accomplishing two things.
He is fulfilling Scripture (John tells us this right in the text).
Psalm
He thirsted so we would not have an eternal thirst like the Rich man and Lazarus...
He thirsted so we could forever drink from the water of life and thirst no more.
He is preparing Himself for the most important announcement in History!
And He needed a drink to ready his mouth to say the one-word announcement, τετέλεσται!
When did Jesus say this word?
Just before He gave up His Spirit.
Notice, He was responsible for His death.
He was the one who deliberately, at that time, gave up His Spirit.
“We die because we cannot help it; Christ died because He willed to die, and not until the moment arrived when He saw it best.”
J.C. Ryle
Why did Jesus say this word?
To let everyone know their debt to God was now paid in full.
