PAYED IN FULL FOR YOU AND ME

When Jesus said "It is finished" (John 19:30), He was declaring that His work on earth was complete. He had accomplished what He came to do - to pay the price for the sins of humanity, to fulfill the prophecies and requirements of the Law, and to provide salvation for all who would put their faith in Him.

In essence, He was saying:

- His mission was accomplished.
- His suffering was complete.
- The debt of sin was paid in full.
- The work of redemption was finished.

This statement is often seen as a declaration of victory, a triumph over sin, death, and Satan. It marked the end of Jesus' earthly ministry and the beginning of a new era of salvation and grace for humanity.

In Greek, the language in which the New Testament was written, Jesus' words are translated as "Tetelestai" (Τετέλεσται), which means "It is finished" or "It is accomplished." This word is a form of the verb "teleo," which means "to complete, fulfill, or pay in full."

Other translations of this verse include: - "Money can buy anything." (NLT) - "Money is the answer for everything." (MSG) - "Money can do everything." (GNT) It's worth noting that while money can provide many things, it is not the ultimate answer to life's biggest questions, and it is not a substitute for spiritual growth...

The power of giving

2 Corinthians 9:6-14 NLT [6] Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. [7] You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” [8] And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. [9] As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” [10] For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. [11] Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. [12] So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—...
