When the Lord Jesus had come to the final hour, it was not only the end of His life; it was the end of His Work. He said, "It is finished" (John 19:30) the work which His Father gave Him to do was completed in every minute detail in that hour. His finished work included and comprised;
(1) ATONEMENT FOR SIN by the imputatation (to attribute or ascribe something criminal and wicked to a person) of the Church's sin to Him and by the substitution of His Person, His Body for all sinners. In this the great doctrines of Imputatation and Substitution are the foundation wrought and provided by the Lord Jesus Christ.
(2) CONFLICT ENDED. The Saviour of Men's earthly work and mission was utterly finished. Satan and hell were conquered; and outright victory gained. In the hour of apparent failure, humiliation and defeat, the Lord Jesus Christ was superb in His dominance as He vanquished all His enemies and foes, - and ours too.
(3) WORK OF REDEMPTION WAS FINISHED. There was absolutely nothing more to done. His Powerful Death paid the full price of our Redemption from the curse of sin and the Curse of the Law. The work of redemption was finished on every level and in every detail. There is nothing more required. It is over, it is finished!
(4) SIN WAS MADE AN END OF. In the dying suffering Body of Jesus Christ sin was forever destroyed and finished.
(5) RIGHTEOUSNESS WAS ALSO FINISHED. It was wrought out, and at the same hour brought in on Calvary's Cross. There the last stitch was put into the garment of needlework of the magnificent robes of the redeemed Church. (Psalm 45:14) Obedience was perfected through suffering. (Hebrews 5:8)
(6) TYPES OF THE CEREMONIAL LAW PERFECTED IN JESUS CHRIST; therefore that which is perfect being come, that which was in part is done away with. (1Corinthians 13:10); the yoke of bondage being forever laid aside. (Galatians 5:1)
