03.29.13 - Good Friday

"It is finished" were the last words Jesus spoke before giving up his spirit on the cross. He wasn't saying that He was finished, no way. He proves that wrong Easter Morning. No, He was saying that the Old Testament laws and teachings and prophesies are finished. That sin is finished. In Hebrew, the verb "finished" is a "perfect verb", meaning it is not only done and completed currently, but is done and completed for forever and eternity. Jesus perfectly finished sin this Good Friday by voluntarily being nailed to the cross for us. And since I'm kind of a bit grammar obsessive, the whole "verb thing" really interested me. Okay. Sermon's over.
