In this transformative Resurrection message, Glenn Bleakney unpacks the Kingdom-altering significance of Jesus’ final declaration on the cross: “It is finished” — Tetelestai (John 19:30). Far from being the end of the story, these words mark the fulfillment of prophecy, the satisfaction of divine justice, and the launching of a new creation reality.
Drawing from the rich biblical imagery behind Tetelestai—a term used in the marketplace, the temple, the courtroom, the military, and even by artists—this message reveals how the Cross was not merely a moment of death, but the moment when all of heaven’s purposes converged in victory.
Through Christ’s finished work:
- Intimacy is restored — the veil was torn, and access to the Father is now open (Hebrews 10:19-22).
- Identity is reclaimed — we are adopted as sons and daughters, heirs with Christ (Romans 8:16-17).
- Influence is reactivated — Jesus’ resurrection reestablishes the believer’s authority to represent His Kingdom on earth (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8).
From Eden lost to Eden regained, this sermon proclaims that the Cross is not just about salvation from sin but restoration to divine purpose. The resurrection of Jesus was not the conclusion of redemption—it was the commencement of Kingdom restoration.
You weren’t just saved—you were sent. The tomb is empty, the Spirit is poured out, and the revolution continues.
Live like “It is finished”… but also like “It has just begun.”
