Seven Words From The Cross
Victory
Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe| March 5, 1978Selected highlights from this sermon
“It is finished” was a cry of victory. Jesus’ sacrifice was complete and perfect. There is nothing we can do to add to what Jesus did. When we trust Christ as our Savior, His righteousness covers the debt God’s law requires of us. That debt was paid in full by the blood of the Lamb.
