It is Finished | Ps Joy

You're listening to a message to go from ex Church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

Titled My Message with the Last the few last words

of Jesus. It was found in John. Okay, So now

we are going to turn to John. So I have

the scripture on as well, but later on some of

the scriptures we will all turned to the Bibles together. Okay,

John of the nineteen verse twenty eight to verse thirty.

Now what you see on the screen is in a

new living translation, all right, So let's read God's word together.

Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to

fulfill scripture, he said, I am thirsty. Now a jar

of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a

sponge in it, put it on a heatop branch, and

held it up to his lips. So Jesus is there

on the cross, all right, and he's saying I'm thirsty.

When Jesus had tasted it, he said it is finished.

Then he bowed his hate and release his spirit. Now actually,

actually either is fine, not a problem at all, okay,

or no problem? Okay. Now, so this as one of

the last or the final utterances of Jesus on the cross.

So Jesus said these words, now in the original Greek,

because in English is translated as it is finished, right,

But the original word, which you are not going into

the details, is actually just one word okay. And that

word was in a perfect tense of a verb, which

actually just means to do something perfectly. So what it

can mean what Jesus is saying actually means that it

is perfectly, perfect, completely complete. So that is the actual

meaning of what he said, okay. Translated into it is

finish haleeluh. Yeah. Now what why did Jesus say that?

And what does it mean? Jesus one, okay, I don't know. Okay,

I'm Chinese Bible. I don't know what the Chinese Bible say,

but one China, China, I don't know what Okay done,

It's finished now m done leo okay dun leayo. Now

let's look at the next verse. It says in Hebrews

chapter ten, verse fourteen. So this is what it means

by that one offering. In other translations it uses the

word sacrifice. So what Jesus did on the cross was

that one You can add the word perfect offering or

sacrifice that he made that He forever made perfect those

who are being made holy. I really again for by

that one offering, by his act of dying on the

cross for us, he forever made perfect those who are

being made holy. Who is holy us turn to your

neighbor and say, you are forever made perfect. Hallelujah. That's

what the Word of God says. Okay, so you are

forever made perfect, all right, hallelujah. So by one final

I would say, it's a final, all sufficient sacrifice. Jesus

has perfected forever, ah once and for all. He has

done all that is ever would be necessary at any

time to meet the needs of every believer. Can I

hear an amen? For that? I repeat, by that one final,

all sufficient sacrifice, he has perfected forever. He has done

all that ever would be necessary at any time to

meet the needs of every believer. Tonight you're just gonna

hear that over and over again, because there's nothing else

to preach except Jesus. Amen. We're just going to preach

Jesus and what Jesus has done for us on the cross.

So the question to you and I is this, and

it's to me. So the question as I preparing God

is asking me, joy, do you believe, Hallelijah, that every

of your needs has been met? Okay? Do we believe

that every need of every human being? You and I

sitated here, your friends, your family, your neighbors, your colleagues,

whether it be spiritual, it be physical, it be emotional,

it be mental, it be material, every single need of

every human being has been supplied true the sacrifice of

Jesus on the Cross. Do you believe? I ask myself

the question, do I believe? Do I believe that my

every need has been answered and supplied done deal on

the cross, hallelujah? Amen? And I pray that tonight we

will all come back to that place again. We can

say Jesus all that I need, Hallelujah. You have done

it all on the cross for me. I just need

to receive you. I just need to come before you. Amen. Amen.

So the extent of what we are able to appropriate,

of what Christ has done on the Cross for us,

will be the extent of our spiritual experience. And we

just so. God has no other basis upon which you

will supply our needs other than the Cross. And everybody

say the Cross. Amen. Amen. So tonight that's what I

want to do. I want to again bring us all back,

as I bring myself back to the place of the

cross again, to see again and to be reminded again

of the significance of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Okay.

So our main text tonight will be on from Isaiah

chapter fifty three, okay, so which the Lord is telling

us through the prophet Isaiah of about Jesus, okay, Okay.

So now, and in the in this chapter of chapter

fifty three, we can see so clearly the message of salvation.

All right. So before we go into Isaiah chapter fifty three,

you will see from the start of the this chapter

it's not a very long chapter, all right, quite a

short one, and it talks about this unnamed servant of

the Lord, all right, okay, and his name the name

of this unnamed servant is not given in Isaiah chapter

fifty three, but we all know because later on, if

you read in the New Testament, the apostles and the

writers of the New Testament were all in agreement that

this unnamed servant is Jesus. Okay, that Isaiah is talking

about in chapter fifty three. So everybody, now, let's all

turn to our Bibles to Isaiah fifty three Versus two

to ten. Okay, so everyone got your bibles. Come, so

parents you can you can help your children with it. Okay,

and let's all turn to the Bibles together. So Isaiah

chapter fifty three, verse two to ten. Now I'm gonna

read from the New Living Translation. Okay, it's says here

in verse two. My servant grew up in the Lord's

presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in

the dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about

his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was

despised and rejected, a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.

We turned our bags on him and looked the other way.

He was despised, and we did not care verse four.

Yet it was our witnesses he carried. It was our

sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles

were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins.

But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins.

He was bitaten so we could behold. He was whipped

so we could be healed. Verse six. All of us,

like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God's paths

to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him

the sins of us all. He was oppressed and treated harshly,

Yet he never said a word. He was led like

a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep is

silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth.

Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that

he died without descendants, that his life was cut short

in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion

of my people verse nine. He had done no wrong

and had never deceived anyone. But he was bruised by

a criminal. Sorry, he was buried like a criminal. He

was put in a rich man's grave. But it was

the Lord's good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet,

when his life is made an offering for sin, he

will have many descendants. Amen, he will enjoy a long life,

and the Lord's good plan will spur in his hands. Now,

the prophet Isaiah is prophesying all right about Jesus. Now,

let's gain zoom in in your bibles right now. In

verse six, what did they say, again, all of us,

like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God's past

to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him

who is the hymn, this unnamed servant of the Lord,

who is Jesus, the sins of us all. Now, the

words sin there actually means guilt or perversity or rebellion.

But it not just means the rebellion or the guilt itself.

It also includes the punishment and the consequences of sin

and rebellion. So Jesus took on himself our sin, our iniquity,

our rebellion, our wrongdoing, and the consequences of all the

sin and the and the punishment for guilt upon himself.

So God laid it on Jesus, all of that, including

the punishment we should have been our punishment. All right,

So Church, now, before I go our I only have

three points tonight, three points. But before I go into that,

this is the main text that we are looking at.

What do you think is the main problem of mankind? Sin? Okay, sin,

in other words, rebellion, Because in verse six essays all

of us want to do it our own way. We

have all straight away we have left God's path to

follow our own way. So we have turned on. That

is one simple problem for every man. No matter how

good we are or how bad we are, that is

our problem. So that is the universal problem of every person,

all right, no matter what country, no matter what color,

no matter what language we speak, we are all guilty

or rebellion. So the mercy of God is that when

Jesus hung on the cross, the Lord visited on him

the iniquity, the guilt, the rebellion of mankind, and all

the consequences of rebellion, so that we do not need

to be punished for the sin, but we will be

free from those evil consequences and receive the benefits of

righteousness of Jesus. Can someone say, amen, hallelujah. That's the

most goodest, goodest best us good news no that you

can ever hear, isn't it? Hallelujah Jesus. Now doesn't that

sound like an exchange? He put it on Jesus and

then give us the blessing. Now, I have a simple

illustration to make now on the stage. I hope this works. Okay,

it feels a just say yeah, good job. Okay, all right,

I need three male volunteers. Okay, okay, all right, all right, cool,

But I had was shown in my mind, and I'll

tell you why later. Okay. So wai shum okay, t more.

I want male because you got to come out to

the stage. So I think easier for the for the

gentleman to come up. Two more volunteers, male volunteers. Now

I'm just called jayden't come, I even where are you?

I even I saw, I even just know I even come.

All right, one thirty am, ten thirty hallelujah, all right,

come okay, just a simple illustration. Okay, okay, I hope

this works. Hallelujah. All right, So wait for sir. Wait

shown you step aside first. Wait sure you stand here? Okay, Yes,

Jayden is standing here and iven here okay, very good,

in front of a little bit, in front of it,

in front of it, in front of it. Okay, I'm

slang okay, very good. Now ivern would be men meaning

men kind like you and I. Okay, Jayden will be

g Jesus. Okay. Now because of our iniquity, our sin,

our guilt, I will just use a simple word band okay, okay.

Now you need your both hands are right and left, okay, guys, okay, okay.

And because of that we deserve punishment. So this one, no,

this one, this hand, this on this hand, okay, and

I use pink color paper. Sorry for those who are

color blind. Pink in color bad Okay. Okay. Now Jesus,

so in Isaiah verse six, is saying not verse six,

verse nine, he says, Jesus did not do anything wrong, right,

he knew no sin. So Jesus is good. Yet I

use the word good life represent Jesus. And because of that, yes,

he receives every blessing from his obedience. Okay. So now

what happens is wa shun represents the cross. Okay. So

what happened okay? So what happened on the cross? Ah,

what happened on the cross is that there was an exchange, okay,

all the consequences and punishment for evil, bad, iniquity or

rebellon and all, okay, was put onto Jesus. Jesus changed hand,

blessing and good one blastriend one my hand, change hand, correct,

all right? So Jaden and Ivan, you change the punishment

and the blessing, all right. So men, you know in

our nature sinful nature just too bad. But because of

what Jesus did on the cross, So the cross so cross,

you stand right behind men standing in front of that

it okay together, yes, okay. Because of what Jesus did

on the cross, there was an exchange. So Jesus, who

knew nos sin, took upon him all our punishment. Hallelujah,

Oh glory to God. Simple elization on me. Thank you

so much. Guys, thank you, thank you, thank you so much,

Thank you. Give them a hand. I wanted to give

them reward to know, like teacher, that know, like what

we did in school. No give stickers. They realized they're

all guys. Maybe not like ha hi, hallelujah Jesus amen.

So if we can see that what happened on the

cross is an exchange, okay, all the consequences of evil

or punishment due by justice to mankind because we are

bad to each of us individually corporately, was visited upon Jesus.

This is so that all the blessings from good due

to the obedience of Jesus might be made available to

us who believe, hallelujah. And this exchange is made possible

only by the wation, by the wation right by the

cross Hallelijah, by the wation. Okay, So to say it shortly,

the punishment came upon Jesus that the blessing might be

made available to you and I. Hallelujah. So God visited

upon Jesus on the cross the guilt, the rebellion of

all mankind, and the evil consequences of rebellion, so that

we might be white free, hallelujah, from those evil consequences

and receive the benefits of righteousness of Jesus. Now we're

going to see now what is stated in Isaiah. What

are these benefits for example? Now it's not just these

three points, but I think we only have time for

three quickly. Okay, So what did Jesus accomplish on the

cross for each and every one of us? Hallelujah. So firstly,

Jesus was punished so that we might be forgiven. Hallelujah.

Now turn to verse four and verse five. Now, my

precious brothers and sisters, keep your fingers in Isaiah fifty three. Okay,

we're going to revisit it many times, all right, So

keep your fingers there Isaiah chapter fifty three. And now

let's look again at verse four and five. Yet it

was our weaknesses he carried. It was our sorrows that

weighed him down, and we thought that his troubles were

a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins.

But no, he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for

our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. Now,

the new King James said that the chastisement for our

peace was upon him, was whipped so we could be healed.

So the punishment due to our our own wrongdoing came

upon Jesus. So Jesus was punished so that we might

be forgiven. And it says that in verse five the

punishment for our peace that we might have peace. Amen.

So until the punishment for sin has been inflicted, there

will be no peace right. But Jesus was punished so

that we might have peace with God, to being forgiven. Amen. Amen.

Now let's look at Collotions chapter one, and we can

see again what Christ has done for us, and he

has offered us forgiveness. In verse nineteen, it says for

God in all his fullness, was pleased to live in Christ,

and through him, God reconciled everything to himself. He made

peace with everything in heaven and on earth, by means

of who and what Christ's blood on the cross. So

by Jesus standing on the cross for us, he had

made peace with each and every one of us, and

we are forgiven. Amen. Amen. So Jesus was punished that

we might have peace to being forgiven. There can be

no peace for the sinner until he knows that his

sins has been forgiven. Isn't it true for you? And I?

It was true for me? Hallelujah. So the question is

that some of us have to answer, do you do

we have peace? And I'm talking about the peace that

only He can give because our sins are forgiven. Today

some of us here we will need to admit and

confess that we have sinned and we have fallen shot

of God's standards. And like just like verse six, we

have to admit that we have walked our own ways.

We have strayed away, and it's time to come back, yes,

so that we may obtain peace to knowing that our

sins are forgiven. Imen. So that's the first point. Jesus

was punished so that we might be forgiven. Amen. Second one,

Jesus was wounded so that we might be healed. Now

turn to Isaiah chapter fifty three, verse four and five. Again.

So In these two verses we see both the physical

and the spiritual aspect of forgiveness and the physical aspect

of healing. So again I read again. Yet it was

our weaknesses he carried. Now this is the new Living translation.

It was our sorrows that he weighe him down, okay,

And verse five he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed

for our sins. He was beaten so could we could

be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.

In the New King James, he says, But he was

wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities.

The chastise for our peace was upon him, and by

his stripes we are healed. Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus. Now

now we want to turn to Matthew chapter eight, right now,

and we want to see how Matthew referred to Isaiah

as well in verse in chapter eight, verse sixteen, and seventeen. Now,

when evening had come, they brought to Jesus many who

were demon possessed, and he cast out the spirits with

a word and healed all who were sacking. So this

was Jesus performing miracles and healing the people, and they

brought to him many who were demon possessed and sick,

that it might be fulfilled. In verse seventeen, which was

spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying he himself took our

infirmities and bore our sicknesses. So here in the New

Testament you can see again an explanation for Isaiah. All right,

So Jesus took upon himself our infirmities, our sicknesses, okay,

and by his stripes we're being healed. So here it

uses towards here infirmities and sicknesses. And I believe informities

and informatists are like things that we are liable to,

like allergies and all but sicknesses will cover all diseases.

So I believe Jesus, by his one, all sufficient sacrifice,

covered all sicknesses, all informaties. Hallelujah. That you can ever

think of, okay, any eggs and pains, any form of

problems in our physical bodies. Jesus has covered it all. Amen. Amen.

Now first Peter, chapter two, verse twenty two, twenty three

to twenty four. Now what did Peter said, he which

is Jesus referring to Jesus did not retaliate when he

was insulted, nor threatened revenge when he suffered. He left

his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.

He as in referring to Jesus personally, carried our sins

in his body on the cross, so that we can

be Date to sin and live for right is right. Amen.

And that is the forgiven part, date to sin and

live for right is right. And the physical part, by

his wounds or by his stripes, you are here, hallelujah.

So Jesus bore our sins in his own body on

the cross so that in the spiritual we might be

forgiven and lived for what is right. Hallelujah. And he

took our sicknesses and bought our pains in the physical

so that we might be heal. A man, can you

see that the emphasis is only on Jesus, no one else.

It's not a mean on anyone. There's no solution in ourselves.

Our only solution is in who Jesus, and our only

answer is in Jesus. And we will notice that healing

is never said in the future, Tens. It says that

you are hute, hallelujah. Okay, It's never in the future tens.

But when it comes to referring to what Jesus has

done on the cross, it is in the simple past tense,

meaning it happened on the cross. It was a fact

of history. Whether you and I believe it or not,

it has happened, Amen, And we can't change that. But

what we believe today will affect us. Right, So the

question is do we believe? So the question should not

be how can I know if it is God's will

to heal me? But the question is do I believe

that I am huge? Amen? Hallelujah. Do I believe? And

how can I appropriate the healing which God has already

provided for me? Amen? Hallelujah, Jesus, Thank you Lord. Amen.

Now my final point, hallelujah. And I'm doing good with time,

Yes we are, Okay, final point now as we remember

again what Jesus has done now in this same passage. Okay,

my third point I put here, as Jesus endured our

rejection that we might have his acceptance as his children. Now,

let's read. Your fingers are there right in verse in

chapter fifty three of Isaiah. So let's again look at

verse two and verse three. In verse two, it says,

my servant grew up in the Lord's presence like a

tender green shoot, like a rude in dry ground. There

was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to

track us to him. Was three. He was despised and rejected,

a man of sorrows, acquainted with this deepest grief. We

turned our backs on him and look the other way.

When I read that again and again, I thought it

was quite bad to turn your bag, you know, and

turn the other way. It's like like like for real. No,

I mean, kids, I don't friend, you can't think, but

this is for real, like I We turned our backs

on him and we looked the other way. It's a

very strong word. No, he was despised. Okay, So I

look it up, gave it I we finished, Sorry, excit.

He was despised and we did not care. Alama, horrible

this meet usal. We did not care. Okay, Now, so

I look it up. Despice de spies is a strong word. Okay,

So what does it mean? Is to feel a strong

dislike for someone or something because you think that that

person or thing has no value or is unworthy of

your notice or consideration. It is a strong level of

disgust or contempt, and is often used to express a

feeling of superiority over that thing or person of the emotion.

So it's because you feel superior over that person or thing,

and that's why you despise him or her or that thing. Ouch. Okay, now,

friends of brothers and sisters, I think rejection. Now, So

what is saying here is that Jesus was despised. He

was rejected. Rejection is one of the one of the

or maybe one of the most or the deepest wound

that a human heart can bear. Do you agree with me?

I agree it. A mark of rejection is that such

a person always feel like he's on the outside trying

to look in, but he cannot get in. Like everybody can,

but I cannot. Everybody has it, but I don't have it.

Others can, but I can't. Okay. Another mark of rejection

is the inability to express love. Now, the apostle John

says that we love God because He first loved us. Amen.

But we can't express love if love has never been

expressed to us, and it's just natural and God, I

believe that was how God made us. It takes the

expression of love to release the expression of love. And

that's why when when a lady who is pregnant with

a child and the child can be born feeling rejected

because the mom rejects the baby even while she carries

the baby in the womb. And we know that, and

we know of people or we know of children who

bought wondering why, but there is that sense of rejection

since birth because maybe the mom has declared like I

didn't plan for this child, or this child was an accident.

I really didn't want this child, you know, I wanted

to abort this child. So a lot of times is that.

And some of us grew up in that kind of

environment as well, we were maybe compared to with our siblings,

and some of us really literally felt that rejection, maybe

from our parents or different ones or teachers. Teachers play

a very important role, and yeah, and sometimes we or

maybe it's just how you feel. Maybe the person did

not intend to reject you, but you feel rejected. And

even you know, in choosing football team teammates, we can

feel rejected. Why I'm not chosen, what that wasn't chosen

to represent the team and all these things in sports everywhere,

and even as a new born child needs the love

of our parents, and some of us don't have that,

or some of us didn't have that, now rejection, and

that's what Jesus endured for us. Now I want to

turn us to the book or the Gospel of Matthew,

chapter twenty seven. Now I'm drawing to the end already.

Chapter twenty seven is where we read about what when

Jesus was hanging on the cross? Now, verse forty five

to verse fifty one. So let us all turn to

Matthew twenty seven, verse forty five to fifty one, now

and let us read at noon. Okay, Now, Jesus was

kneeled to the cross around nine am in the morning,

and he hung there. And by now in verse forty five,

we are at twelve o'clock noontime. So at noon darkness

fell across the whole length. Now, noontime we all know

is the hottest time of the day, okay, and today

I think it was one of the very hot day.

I don't know about your very hot day. So imagine

the hottest time of the day. It was total darkness, okay,

of the land until three o'clock for three hours. That's

quite long. At about three o'clock. In verse forty six,

Jesus called out with a loud voice, which means, my God,

my God, why have you abandoned me? Now, some of

the bystanders misunderstood and thought he was calling for the

prophet Elijah. One of them ran and filled the sponge

with our wine, holding it up to him on the

reed stick so he could drink. But the rest said, wait,

let's see whether Elijah comes to save him. Then Jesus

shouted out again. Maybe he shouted up it is finished,

but that wasn't recorded in Matthew. There was recorded in John, okay,

And he released his spirit, and at that moment the

curtain in the sanctuary in the temple was torn in

two from top to bottom. Now we all know the story. Okay,

Now let's look at verse forty six one more time.

Jesus called out to the Father God, the Father, with

a loud voice, asking my God, my God, why have

you abandoned me? Or why have you forsaken me? Now?

I suspect, okay, that Jesus died earlier than would a

normal man who have died, meaning you will normally take

a little longer to die on the cross. But by

then Jesus died already. And how we know that, it's

because when the soldiers came and wanted to break the

licks of the people hanging the tree, of them who

are hanging on the cross, because that was the day

before the Sabbath. It was the preparation day, sorry for Passover,

and so during the preparation, the preparation day, they didn't

want the bodies to hang until pass Over, so they

wanted to hasten the death of the criminals. So they

attempted to break the LIGs of the criminals so that

they die faster. By the time the soldiers wished Jesus,

Jesus already died, so his LIGs were not broken. And

in other parts of the Gospels, it was recorded that

Pilot was surprised that Jesus has died, and he asked

for the officer, the Roman officer, to come and verify

whether he's ate or not. Is it true he's died,

he's dead, because normally it would take a little longer, Okay,

So we read in verse for they so I suspect

that he died earlier than would normally a man would die.

And end right after that, after he called out he

released his spirit, and then the curtain in the temple

was torn into two. I believe Jesus died due to

the rejection from the Father God because for the first

time in history, the son of God cried out to

Father God, but Father God did not answer. The Father,

our father in heaven had to stop his ears, turned

away his eyes. Why remember that exchange. What happened to

Jesus on the cross. He took our sin. He took

all all the iniquity, the sin, the rebellion, and the

consequences of all evil. He took it all on himself.

So Father God had to turn away, because God cannot

look upon sin with favor. So Jesus endeared our rejection

on the cross, and immediately after that he gave up

his spirit. And the first thing that happened was that

the temple velle was torn into from top to bottom.

What I've read is that the veil was extremely thick

and that men could not have even torn it or

tear it from into two, even from bottom to top. Okay,

so it from top to bottom just shows us that

it was God who did it, and that veil is

what separates unholy men from a holy God. Isn't it,

And when it's torn, is ensigned for God to say

that now it is no longer separated. Jesus has made

away for us to come to God. Amen. Jesus endured

our rejection, rejection, rejection, so that we can receive his

acceptance as his children. Hallelujah. I'm joined to a close

and our worship team can come now. This is the

last portion of scripture we're going to read tonight, and

everybody say Hallelujah, hallelujah. Ephesians chapter one, verse three to six,

all praise to God. And tonight we want to give

all praise to God imen the father of our Lord,

Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing

in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ

even before He made the world. Listen, and I believe

God is speaking to some of us tonight. God already

loved us, and God already chose us to be in Christ.

God loves you, and God has chosen you, Amen, Amen,

to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God

decided in verse five in advance to adopt us into

his own family by bringing us to himself, to Jesus Christ,

and this is what he wanted to do, and he

gave him great pleasure, hallelujah, verse six, which is what

we're going to do tonight. So we praise Scott hallelujah

for the glorious grace that He has poured out on

us who belonged to his dear son. Amen.

We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
