Seven Words: Into your hands

Celebrate Palm Sunday with us!

What was finished? Jesus, in today’s text gives his Spirit back to God and tells us that it is finished. What did he finish? Was he finished?

Did those around the cross that day think that the whole Jesus thing was finished? Had the religious leaders and Roman authorities won the battle? What did that “finish” in Jesus’ physical existence mean to our eternal existence?

It sounds like those are words to die by, but if fact, they have become words for those who follow Jesus Christ to live by.
