SUBJECT: The Word of Triumph READING: John 19:28-30 TEXT: "...'It is finished!'...'' (19:30). Introduction From the moistened lips of Jesus, who has been treated to a sip of vinegar, administered on hyssop, comes the greatest word of triumph man will ever hear: "Finished!" or "Accomplished!" (John 19:30). In this cry of triumph we have: I. The Word of Completion (19:30) 1) The Fulfilled Word of God (19:28, 30) 2) The Finished Work of God (19:28) II.. The Word of Conquest (19:30) 1) Triumph Over the World (John 16:33) 2) Triumph Over the Flesh (Rom. 6:6) 3) Triumph Over the Devil (John 12:31) III. The Word of Consecration (19:30) 1) The Perfection of the Obedience of Christ (Heb. 5:8-9) 2) The Perfection of the Offering of Christ (Heb. 9:14) IV. The Word of Challenge (19:30) 1) The Believer's Certainty in Christ (19:30) 2) The Believer's Victory in Christ (19:30) 3) The Believer's Ministry in Christ (19:30) Conclusion: We have seen the interpretations of this word of triumph. May we so live that in a coming day we can say, "...I have finished my course..." (2 Tim. 4:7). SERMON FROM DR. STEPHEN OLFORD- ENCOUNTER MINISTRIES- USA |
