约翰福音-John 19章28~30 节

19:28 这事以后,耶稣知道各样的事已经成就,为要成就经书,就说,我渴了。
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had now been finished and so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.
19:29 有一个器皿盛满了醋,放在那里;他们就拿海绵蘸满了醋,绑在牛膝草上,送到祂口边。
There was lying there a vessel full of vinegar; therefore, they put a sponge full of vinegar on hyssop and brought it to His mouth.
19:30 耶稣受了那醋,就说,成了!便低下头,将灵交付了。
Then when Jesus had taken the vinegar, He said, It is finished! And He bowed His head and delivered up His spirit.

Enlightenment:

The Lord worked continually until He was put on the cross (5:17). But even in His crucifixion the Lord was still working. How do we know that He was still working on the cross? Because before He died He said, “It is finished!” While He was being crucified, He was still working for the redemption of sinners, for the destruction of the serpent, for the release of the divine life, and for the accomplishment of God’s eternal purpose. At the last minute, after everything had been accomplished, He declared to the whole universe, “It is finished!” Then He died and entered into rest. Praise the Lord Jesus! Only He could do this. Through His crucifixion, He finished the work of His all-inclusive death by which He accomplished redemption, terminated the old creation, and released His resurrection life to bring forth the new creation to fulfill God’s purpose. In the process of death, He proved to His opposers and His believers by the way He behaved that He was life. The dreadful environment of death did not frighten Him in the least. Rather, it provided a contrast which proved strongly that He was life versus death, a life which could not be affected by death in any way.

亮光

主不断作工,直到被钉在十字架上。(约五17。)然而,甚至在祂钉十字架时仍在作工。我们怎么知道祂在十字架上仍在作工?因为在祂临终前,祂说,『成了!』祂被钉十字架时,仍在作工以救赎罪人,毁坏蛇,释放神圣的生命,并完成神永远的定旨。在最后一分钟,每一件事都完成后,主就向整个宇宙宣告说,『成了!』然后祂死了,进入安息。赞美主耶稣!只有祂能这样作。祂藉着钉十字架,完成了包罗万有之死的工作,藉此成功救赎,结束旧造,并释放祂复活的生命,以产生新造,完成神的定旨。在死的过桯中,祂以行动向敌对者和信祂者证明,祂是生命。死的恐怖局面,丝毫没有使祂惧怕,反而形成一个对比,有力的证明祂是生命,与死相对,丝毫不受死的影响。所以主在此所指成了的工作,包括成功救赎,结束旧造,释放祂复活的生命,并展示祂是那死亡所不能影响的生命。
