Matthew 27:50-56 – The Cross (Part 3) is a message that focusses on Jesus’ three final declarations from the cross. They reveal His anguish, the completion of His work to purchase our salvation, and His restored peace with our Heavenly Father. Jesus cries out “Tetelestai” translated as “It is finished” to declare His victory over Satan, Sin and Death. No matter the difficulty of our circumstances we can remember through Jesus “It is finished.” Christ has paid our debt in full
