We all have unfinished projects in life, but there is only one who can truly claim a life that accomplished ALL that it set out to do.

Nothing Left Undone Pastor Adam Dragoon

Tetelestai is a word of complete victory - Tetelestai comes from the verb teleo, which means “to bring to an end, to complete, to accomplish.” It signifies the successful end to a particular course of action. It’s the word you would use when you climb to the peak of Mt. Everest; it’s the word you would use when you turn in the final copy of your dissertation; it’s the word you would use when you make the final payment on your new car; it’s the word you use when you cross the finish line of your first 10K run. The word means more than just “I survived.” It means “I did exactly what I set out to do.”

It's the word Jesus used to signify the completion of the work his Father had given to him.

Translation: It is finished!
