So, it's my first blog. I am transitioning slowly to the real world. I find it fitting to continue sharing my life with others and turn the page to a new chapter entitled: Blogging.
The title of my blog, "Tetelestia", pronounced Tuh-tell-a-sty, are the famous last words that Jesus spoke. Tetelestia (it is finished) is in the perfect tense of the Greek language. The fact that it is in the perfect tense is pretty significant. It means that something happened and it is still in effect today. It is the word you would use when you finish something really significant...like finishing a marathon or climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. It means more than just surviving it, it means you did exactly what you set out to do.
So what was finished you ask...well, a lot. All of the Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled, the ceremonial law was abolished, sufferings ordained by God were finished, his physical sufferings and life was finished, the price of sin was PAID IN FULL, and the work of redemption was now complete. It is finished. Every sin, covered. The choice is yours, accept or reject. Eternity is at stake.
Did you use your ESV study bible to find that word? :)
