Everyone should fulfill their purpose in life. At Jesus’ death on the cross, one of the last things he said was “It is finished.” Some Bibles render this as, “It’s done” or “It is completed.” Was he simply announcing that his life was over? We know that there are few more slow and painful ways to die than this cruel Roman execution. Was Jesus simply giving voice to a depressed resignation to defeat? Or, did Jesus mean something else with this word? Had Jesus completed and fulfilled his work on earth in some way? What was Jesus’ mission? If this scene is not just the end, what does this “last word” from Jesus mean for me?
