 In essence,
 ===The Old Testament sacrifices were both necessary and futile (11).===
-The sacrifices were an act of obedience that symbolically looked forward to the ultimate sacrifice. However, while necessary in the interim, these sacrifices were unable to provide any ultimate atonement. The God of faith showed grace and mercy to the one who in faith offered a temporary sacrifice but the real sacrifice was still needed.
+====The sacrifices were an act of obedience that symbolically looked forward to the ultimate sacrifice.====
 ===The crucifixion was necessary and efficacious (12).===
-In contrast to the necessary but ultimately futile work of the priests of the Old Testament, the work of Christ was necessary and efficacious. The author of Hebrews tells us that when this perfect priest offered his sacrifice for sins he sat down at the right hand of God. The picture here is of a job completed. Sitting is only reasonable when the work is complete and in contrast to the future work of the past the work of Christ is efficacious and complete. The penalty for sin has been paid once for all.

-In one sense, victory was achieved back in 1782 but that victory was not fully realized until 1783. Understand that if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior then you are redeemed, you are saved. However, sin still abounds but don't despair, the day is coming when all will be made to submit to the victory Christ completed at the cross.

 All hope was not lost, the God of the universe put a plan in motion, a mission that would make the moon landing pale in comparison. A mission to redeem that which is seemingly unredeemable.
 ==The crucifixion marks the completion of a mission millennia in the making (John 19:28-30).==
 Let's read John 19:28-30
 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

 The first thing I want you to see is that
 ===Jesus knew exactly what he was doing in his crucifixion (28-29).===
-look at verse 28. The text tells us that Jesus knew all the details. One writer has argued that Jesus fulfilled 27 distinct prophecies in the 24 hours leading up to his death.

-The climax of the crucifixion comes in verse 30 when Jesus declares τετέλεσται, it is finished. In just three verses John has used this word three times. The work is done. Mission accomplished. However, notice, this was not just by chance. John carefully constructs the sentence that describes the death of Jesus. We might translate this as "after bowing his head he gave the spirit." In other words Jesus was the subject. Jesus gave himself to death. Death did not take Jesus! But more, there is a type of double entendre here. John does not say that after bowing his head Jesus gave himself over to death. John says that after bowing his head, Jesus gave the spirit. In John 14 prior to the crucifixion Jesus had promised to send the Holy Spirit, God himself who would dwell within the followers of Christ. While we know that the Spirit ultimately came 50 days later on the day of Pentecost, the crucifixion marked the act where by the separation between God and man that came in the Garden of Eden was restored.  Jesus declared, Mission Accomplished, what was broken is now restored.
+====The climax of the crucifixion comes in verse 30 when Jesus declares τετέλεσται, it is finished.====
 If you were watching a news piece on an important mission that had been accomplished you would probably see a newscast in which the first portion of the cast was devoted to the act of accomplishing the mission but after those details the news cast would move backward and recount some of the history of the mission, let's do that. You see the problem is our sin, the problem is our need for atonement.

+The words "Mission Accomplished" are packed with emotion, satisfaction, and relief. On July 20, 1969 8 years after president John F. Kennedy set the goal of landing a man on the moon, Neil Armstrong put his left foot on the surface of the moon and declared, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” In his own way Armstrong declared "Mission Accomplished." Years of planning, work, and anticipation were realized in that moment.
