The Best Ever Last Words

John 19.30

Sermon by Dr Peter Masters

Almost the last words of Christ – ‘It is finished’ – refer chiefly to the tornado of punishment taken on Calvary’s cross on our behalf. Here is what He ‘finished’ for us, such as fear of death and eternal loss. With Christ, our life will never finish.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. (John 19:30)


The deeper things of life are so easily crowded out today. Here at the Metropolitan Tabernacle we cater for the needs of the soul.

Permit me, as a pastor for many years, to plead with you not to let the ultimate meaning and purpose of life pass you by. True fulfilment and happiness depends on knowing who we are, and knowing the Lord, our Creator. Don’t let yourself be swept away, programmed and ruled by the shallow things of materialism and hedonism. We need God and one day we must give account to Him.

-Dr Peter Masters
