The Finished Work of the Messiah
The finished work of the Messiah is an area of teaching that is often misunderstood or only partially understood by many Believers. Formally, this subject comes in the category of soteriology, that is, what the Scripture teaches about salvation. The Bible teaches that the salvation of mankind from the consequences of sin is both free and costly at the same time. On the one hand, salvation is a free gift to anyone who entrusts himself by faith to the Messiah Yeshua as personal Savior. But on the other hand, salvation is very costly because it required the sacrificial death of the Son of God. It is this aspect of salvation that is referred to as the finished work of the Messiah. (See John 19:30.) It is not the miraculous birth of Christ or the perfect life of Christ that is chiefly in view in this phrase. The finished work of Christ refers primarily to His death on the cross. That is where the judgment of God against our sin was endured by the Messiah, who became our substitute in order to become our Savior. Yeshua was not our Savior until He suffered and died for our sins as the Passover Lamb. The New Covenant uses three key words to describe the finished work of the Messiah: propitiation, redemption and reconciliation.
