It Is Finished

For sixty years, Billy Graham preached the gospel, the good news that Jesus has forgiven our sins on the cross. He paid for our sins two thousand years ago. He paid for all future sins of those who trust in him and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Can we sin and not be forgiven? The only sin that cannot be forgiven is to not believe in the one who is the only way to God. Jesus finished the work he was given by God, His Father.

John 19:28  After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” 

John 19:29  A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 

John 19:30  When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. 

The Greek word translated, "It is finished" is an accounting word tetelestai meaning, "paid in full". The Son of God who had no sins, took upon himself all the sins of mankind. His death on the cross paid the price for our transgressions to satisfy the justice of God. Don't be looking elsewhere for the way to God. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. (John 14:6)

Billy Graham preached the cross from the first to the last sermon. He is with the Lord now in heaven. But, he is not finished preaching. His sermons and crusades are being replayed on the TV and Internet. People all over the world are hearing him, or reading him with subtitles and the same message is still bringing souls to Jesus.  Before your life is over, have you come to Jesus and repented of your sins? Don't let your life be over without the assurance that you will be with God for eternity. Come to Jesus now.
