NKJV 365 / Finished

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 103 of 365 Finished is better translated "accomplished" or "fulfilled"-not meaning Christ's life is ended, but showing His divine plan of salvation has now been completed. Bowing His head, He gave up His spirit: St. John Chrysostom writes that Christ did not die first, with His head falling as a result of death. Instead, as Lord even of His own death, Jesus first bowed His head, and then willingly gave up His spirit. Taken from The Orthodox Study Bible John 19:30 NASB 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
