“Famous Last Words”, it has been said, can give us an insight into the life and legacy of a person. Summarizing a life can always be challenging, but doing so through your own words is a powerful and significant thing. In John 19:28-37, Jesus speaks his last words from the cross — “It is finished”. What at first must have sounded like a cry of surrender is actually a powerful, and prophetic declaration of victory. As we approach the end of John’s Gospel, we focus on the words Jesus used to summarize his own life, legacy, and purpose.
