With both moral acts of purity and (after His baptism) miraculous acts of power, for thirty-three years the Son of Man would serve as the perfect representation of God ‘in the flesh’, thus completing one major aspect of His earthly assignment―to reveal the name and nature of His Father.8

Then, while nailed to a cross, suspended between Heaven and earth upon a hill called Golgotha, after fulfilling what had been prophesied concerning Him, Jesus would utter these much-anticipated words before His death: ‘It is finished’ (John 19:30).

Now, let me ask you… what had finished?

Certainly, Jesus’ work hadn’t finished. Not by a long shot!

He hadn’t been buried yet, been raised from the dead or broken out of the tomb in His resurrection glory; He hadn’t ‘preached to the spirits in prison’ (1 Peter 3:19) or entered Heaven as High Priest on our behalf leading ‘captives in his train’ (Ephesians 4:8); He hadn’t yet sat down at the right hand of the Majesty, or poured out God’s Spirit as promised; He hadn’t appeared to Paul, Peter, or the other apostles; and He most certainly hadn’t come again in His heavenly glory and splendour.9

Jesus had a great deal more to do!

So, what was He referring to as He declared, ‘It is finished’?

The moment He uttered these climactic words, the curtain in the temple was torn in two―from Heaven to earth―signifying the end of the Old Covenant era and the dawning of a new age where access to God’s presence and provision is made freely available.10

The Old Covenant system introduced through Moses, mediated by angels, and maintained through multiple generations, was now redundant and soon to be replaced!11
