Tetelestai

A loving relationship with God is broken when Adam and Eve sin. God, however, promises to send a Deliverer who will pay the ultimate price to restore the broken relationship between God and mankind.

In a judgment of floodwaters God provides one way of escape for all who believe. Years later, in a divine test with Abraham, a striking picture is painted of a future substitute who will give his life for the world.

As God delivers His people from slavery, he demonstrates that he alone is God. During the tenth plague, the only way to escape death points to a future deliverance of a world in bondage to sin and death.

When God gives His holy laws at Mt. Sinai, the moral standard they reveal works like a mirror to show the sin within every human heart and drive people to realize that their only hope is in the coming Deliverer.

The Day of Atonement, sacrifices, and a rebellious nation perishing from venomous snake bites, all serve to reveal how the coming Deliverer would be the innocent One dying in order that others might live.

God Himself takes on human form and comes to be the Deliverer, Jesus. As an adult, Jesus is proclaimed to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

With supernatural power over demons, sickness, nature and death itself, Jesus proves that He is not only the Messiah but God Himself. He reaches out to all people with a love unlike any other.

In a heart-to-heart conversation about eternal life, Jesus shows the inadequacy of human efforts. The danger of rejecting the life He offers is a sobering reality seen in the story of one who chose eternal death.

Jesus is the final sacrifice. On the cross, He shouts, “Tetelestai!” proclaiming our enemies defeat, the restoration of our broken relationship with God, and hope for all humanity.

An empty tomb, startled eyewitnesses and the unexpected visit of the risen Jesus lead to a life changing journey through the Scriptures that reveals the Eternal Story of Redemption; a story that could change you forever.
