Jesus proclaims in John 19:30, “It is finished!”  This word of fulfillment marks the completion of Jesus’ earthly mission and the satisfaction of God’s redemptive agenda.  With these words, Jesus heralds the victory of redemption over condemnation. It echoes throughout history, offering assurance to all who trust in His completed work of the cross.  With a final agonizing breath, Jesus says in Luke 23:46, “Father, Into Your hands I commit My Spirit.”  In this word of reunion, believers witness the culmination of Jesus’ sacrificial death, as He willingly offers His life for the sake of humanity.  It is a profound moment of intimacy, where the Son shares restored fellowship with the Father in complete submission and devotion.  This final word fulfills Psalm 31:5: “Into Your hand I commit my spirit.”
