John: It Is Finished (Victory On Calvary...

BIBLE STUDY
About this episode

It. Is. Finished.

Just three words – yet, the most significant ever spoken.

On Calvary, Jesus declared ‘it is finished.’

The question for us is: what was He referring to?

What was ‘finished,’ and what value does it have for us?

That will be the focus of today’s study in John 19.

Other Questions That We’ll Answer:

A) Why did Jesus have to die? Was it really necessary?

B) Why did the sky grow dark, and why was the temple veiled ripped?

C) What proofs are there of the crucifixion and resurrection?

Dr. Toby Holt is pastor of First Presbyterian Church, in Gulfport MS.
