TEXT GALATIANS 3:13-14
TOPIC : THE GRAVE IS EMPTY AND THE DEBT FULLY PAID
[13]Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
[14]That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Dearly beloved, when Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
The Greek word for it is finished is the word "tetelestai".
Tetelestai is used as a business term which means that the debt is fully paid.
It is also used in the courts as a term in judgement meaning that the sentence has been fully served.
Tetelestai is also used as a military term and it means that the battle has been fully won.
Dearly beloved, when Jesus said "it is finished" on that cross, He meant that:-
1. Your debt of sin is fully paid.
2 . The sentence for punishment for what you deserved and your time of being in bondage is fully served. Finally,
3 . Your battle against Satan, sin, sicknesses and diseases and all your enemies have been fully won.
If you understand this, you will move around with your shoulders high.
Child of God, you are more than a conqueror because the cross purchased the trophy for you.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
