Finished: The Greatest Word Ever Spoken (6 of 7)
Series: The Passion of the Christ

John 19:30
Today we come to the greatest word ever spoken and that word is finished. We are continuing in our series of ''The Passion of the Christ'' with this sixth word, finished.

All of these great bible characters truly loved the Lord and truly did great things but only Jesus Christ the Son of God could say finished. This is the word spoken by the greatest person who ever lived, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Son of Man had come to seek and to save that which is lost and when He came to die on t ...
