Jesus muttered his final words in Greek, "Tetelestai," meaning, "it is finished." He said it perfectly using the perfect tense. This perfect tense is meant to show us that what Jesus did on the cross is not simply a past event. This is something Jesus did and it's still in effect today. Tetelestai is the kind of word you speak when you accomplish something of great significance, like a mother giving birth or a writer completing the final manuscript. Yes, it is finished. Death no longer is final for us. Our sins no longer carry a penalty. We are free. Jesus makes all things new. How are you going to celebrate on Easter Sunday? Have a great day.
