He is risen, indeed! // We hope you’re celebrating well this Easter Sunday. 💙
"It is finished" was the last thing Jesus said before dying on the cross. These words are an English translation of the Greek word “tetelestai” which means "to bring to an end, to complete, to accomplish." Tetelestai is the word you would use upon summiting Mt. Everest; it's the word you would use on turning in the final copy of your dissertation; it's the word you would use when making the final payment on your new car. The word means more than simply "I survived." It means "I did exactly what I set out to do."⁣ ⁣ Tetelestai is the Greek perfect tense and it differs from the past tense. The perfect tense doesn’t just mean that something just happened. It adds the idea that "this happened and it is still in effect today."⁣ ⁣ Jesus did not say "I am finished" in defeat and exhaustion. When Jesus cried out "It is finished," he was saying "I did what I came to do. It was finished in the past, it is still finished in the present, and it will remain finished in the future."⁣ ⁣ Tetelestai is our Savior's final cry of victory! ⁣ ⁣ [Adapted from Christianity.com // gorgeous artwork by @betsysueletters] 💙
Have you taken our free "colors" personality test? If not, you can find it at BOAW.MOM/quiz Red Moms are fiercely loyal and decisive. They are strong leaders and hard workers. They see things in a positive light and have a “can- do” attitude, which makes running a household something they do well and seemingly with ease. But when they are not walking by the Spirit, reds can be blunt and bossy. They want their own way, think they are always right and use anger to control situations. A red moms’ desire for control is usually her greatest weakness when it comes to parenting. [Read our newest post "Giving Up the Illusion of Control" on The Perch at BOAW.MOM/blog]
