Tetelestai (it is finished) is the word which separates Christianity from religion. Tetelestai means that Jesus has fulfilled all that the Father required to be accomplished on our behalf. We now rest in the finished work of Christ through faith.

Jesus endured 6 different trials and at the end it was declared that there was no fault in Him. Why do the gospels give so much attention to the trial of Jesus. Because God wanted to demonstrate to the world that He was the Lamb of God without blemish. The only righteous One died in the place of an unrighteous human race.

The subject of the Kingdom of God is a major theme in the Bible. It is mentioned many times in the Old Testament and more times than ’grace’ in the New Testament. Yet there is such little teaching and understanding on the subject. Jesus speaks about the ultimate triumph of His Kingdom when He was about to die.

Jesus has arrived at the place in His life for which He came to earth - to go to the cross and die for our sins. Many times His enemies wanted to arrest and kill Him but were not able to because His time had not come. But now His time has come and He willingly walks into the net they have spread for Him. We see that He is in complete control of what is about to take place. No one took His life from Him. He laid it down in obedience to the Father and in love for us.

John 17 is a unique chapter in the gospels because it is the fullest record of Jesus praying. Often He prayed but we don’t know much about what He prayed because He prayed alone. But here He prayed in the presence of witnesses - the disciples. There are 3 parts to His prayer: He prayed for 1) Himself; 2) the disciples who were alive at the time; 3) those who would believe in Him (us). In this video we look at the third part of His prayer.

Healing, like every other blessing, has been provided for us by grace through the finished work of Christ. Faith receives what grace supplies. We do not receive healing because we have the right doctrine but because we believe in Jesus our Healer.
