Tetelestai: (It Is Finished)The Power of Christ's Finished Work on the Cross

The CrossRoads Collective Podcast

What if one powerful statement could redefine your entire existence? Join us as we explore the profound declaration of "It is finished," uttered by Jesus Christ on the cross, and its transformational impact on humanity. Dive into the rich narrative that spans from the disobedience of Adam and Eve to the breathtaking fulfillment of divine salvation through Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice. Through this lens, we unpack the concept of “Tetelestai” — meaning "the debt has been paid in full" — and how this pivotal moment marks the completion of Jesus' earthly mission, offering believers a life beyond guilt, shame, and fear.
Our conversation takes a deep look at the reconciliation of God's justice and mercy through the lens of substitutionary atonement. Discover how Jesus, by taking our place, extends an invitation to live in the freedom of grace, where performance is replaced by gratitude and love. Reflect on the empowering role of the Holy Spirit, guiding believers to embrace the reality of Christ's finished work, with the assurance of no condemnation for those in Christ. Whether you're seeking understanding or longing for reassurance, this episode promises to illuminate the path to living confidently in the grace that has been freely given.

I would love to hear from you!
