Day 4 The phrase “it is finished” translates the Greek word “tetelestai”. It was a common word that had many meanings in that society. The primary usage had to do with two parties coming together in agreement on a price. When an agreement had been reached that was mutually satisfactory, the parties would say “tetelestai”. It meant, “The deal has been struck and both parties are satisfied.” When Jesus went to the cross, He went to satisfy God. Jesus did not die to pay the devil. Jesus died because, “the wages of sin is death”, Romans 6:23. Jesus died because the only way we could ever be free was for an innocent man to give His life in our place. That is what Jesus did! How thankful are you for the sacrifice of Christ?
