"It is finished"

John 18:1-19:42

 "So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, 'Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews'. Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, 'Do not write, The King of the Jews', but, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews'. Pilate answered, 'What I have written I have written'. When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was without seam, woven from top to bottom; so they said to one another, 'Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be'. this was to fulfill the scripture. "They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots". So the soldiers did this. But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold, your son!' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfil the scripture), 'I thirst'. A bowl full of vinegar stood there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, 'It is finished'; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit"

Sa katapusan na parte nan pag-antos ni Jesus, an Ija nanay, an tuyo ka babaje sanan si John rakan gajud an nabilin na nakig-lunod’patay Dija kay tag-bijaan na man Sija nan Ija mga disipulo. 


Arang ka sakit sanan makasisipog an kamatajon ni Jesus sa krus kay labot pa sa inantusan Nija nan nagpas’an pa Sija nan krus, taghampak pa Sija nan mga masakit na latus sanan tag-purong-purongan pa sija nan dugion na korona na nuduyot sa Ija kalabera.


Taglansang Sija sa krus kay lagi, tagdeklarar man Nija na King Sija ugsa balitaw na tag-laong sa oyuhan Nija na “King of the Jews” Sija.


Pero, uno man kaha’y kahuyugan nan Ija pag-laong na “it is finished” adiser Sija kabugtu’i nan Ija ginhawa?


Dinhi seguro ipakita ni Jesus na nabuntog na, natapos na an kasay’anan sa kalibutan, despuwes, amo na’y ini sinug’dan na pagbag’o nan kataw’han kay nahipadayag na man ni God an Ija gugma sa Ija mga anak.


Sa krus, hikit’an nato an kadaugan ni Jesus batok sa Ija mga kontra – an kasay’anan, si Satan sanan an kamatajon.


Kuman, posible kaha para dato na makasunod kita sa dayan nan krus na may kalipay, paglaum sanan kompiyansa?

"Lord Jesus Christ, by your death on the cross you have won pardon for us and freedom from the tyranny of sin and death. May I live in the joy and freedom of your victory over sin and death."
