This sermon centers on Jesus’ final words on the cross, “It is finished,” emphasizing that Christ came into the world for the sole purpose of completing God’s eternal plan of salvation. Tracing Scripture from Genesis through the Passover in Egypt and ultimately to Calvary, the message explains how sin entered the world, how death was its penalty, and how God, in His love, provided a way of redemption through blood sacrifice—fulfilled perfectly in Jesus Christ. The blood symbolizes both death to sin and new life in Christ, showing that when Jesus died, the debt of sin was fully paid and the work was completed. The sermon calls listeners to remember that Christ’s mission was not tradition or celebration, but to seek and save the lost, urging all to be “behind the blood” before judgment comes, while holding hope that the same Jesus who finished salvation on the cross will one day finish all things and gather His redeemed home.
