耶稣在十字架上受死之前，发出了胜利的宣告，说“成了”。

这里使用的希腊词——tetelestai——有三个含义，指出了耶稣为我们成就的工作。

第一，它用在完成一项任务时。当儿子完成了一个项目的工作，他会对父亲说：“Tetelestai”，意思是“委托给我的工作完成了”。

第二，它用在债务偿清时。当一个人向法律机构偿还债时，文件上会盖上“Tetelestai”，意思是“债务已经还清”。

第三，这个词被用来宣布一个人对契约规定的产业有明确的所有权。当有人买了一份产业并付清了钱，他们收到的契约上有“Tetelestai”的字样，意思是“你拥有产权”。

当耶稣在十字架上为我们舍弃了自己的生命，祂完成了天父托付给祂的任务，救我们脱离罪恶和死亡。在十字架上，祂完全偿还了我们的罪债，使我们得到了赦免和救赎。在十字架上，因着基督完成的工作，为我们开辟了一条通往永生的道路。我们获得了拥有永生的权利。

耶稣的牺牲足以为我们提供永恒的救赎和整全的生命，直到永远！

Before he died on the cross, Jesus uttered a cry of triumph, saying "It is finished."

The Greek word here—tetélestai—had three meanings that point out Jesus' finished work for us.

First, it was used for the completion of a task. When a son finished his work on a project, he would say to his father, "Tetélestai," meaning, "The work entrusted to me is finished."

Second, it was used to pay off a debt. When a person paid off a debt with the legal authorities, the document was stamped "Tetélestai," meaning, "The debt has been paid."

Third, this word was used to declare a person's definite possession of a deed. When someone bought a piece of property and paid for it in full, they received the deed with the inscription "Tetélestai," meaning, "You have the right of possession."

When Jesus gave up his life for us on the cross, he completed the work the Father had entrusted to him so that we could be saved from sin and death. And on the cross he paid our debt in full, opening the way to eternal life for us. We have forgiveness and salvation. Because of Christ's finished work, we have received the right to take possession of eternal life.

Jesus' sacrifice was fully sufficient to offer us eternal redemption and full life forever!
