"Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit" - John 19:30.
"It is finished!"
Three of the most magnificent words ever spoken by the Lord Jesus and recorded by John. Actually, Matthew's account and Mark's account tell us Jesus shouted these words with a loud cry. It was a shout of triumph! The entire work of redemption, planned from before the foundation of the world, had been brought to completion. Sin had been atoned for and Satan was defeated and rendered powerless. Every requirement of God's righteous law had been satisfied and God's wrath against sin had been appeased.

Did you know that the Greek word used in John 19:30 which is translated "it is finished" has been found in the papyri being placed on receipts for taxes meaning "paid in full?"
May you have a blessed Easter, being overwhelmed and rejoicing in the wonderful truth that your debt of sin has been PAID IN FULL if you have trusted in Christ as your Lord and Savior.
"When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross" - Colossians 2:13,14.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" - Romans 3:23.
"...that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" - Romans 10:9.
