About this listen

You know exactly what “tapping out” looks like. It’s when a fighter hits the mat or taps their opponent, signaling they’re done. No more. They’ve reached their limit, and if they keep going, they’ll break. But let me ask you: Would you have blamed Jesus for tapping out? I mean, think about it—He went through more than we could ever imagine. Because let’s be honest—He could have. When the weight of the cross became unbearable… He could’ve said, “I’m done.” When betrayal cut deep, He could’ve quit. When they beat Him, mocked Him, and the crowd turned their back on Him—He could’ve walked away. And who would have blamed Him? But here’s the thing—this isn’t about weakness. It’s not about failure. It’s about reaching the edge. That moment when you’ve carried more than you should, and your body, your mind, your soul finally says, “Enough.” Every man has been there. How many of us have whispered to ourselves, “I’m done.” But here’s where it changes—Jesus didn’t say “I am finished.” He said, “It is finished.” There’s a huge difference. “It is finished” = Purpose fulfilled. Power in the completion. “I am finished” = A person overwhelmed, a cry for help or release. One is a statement of triumph. The other is a moment of surrender. Too many men are walking around, silently carrying the weight of the world, whispering, “I’m finished.” “I can’t keep going.” “I have nothing left.” But listen—when Jesus hung on that cross and declared “It is finished,” He wasn’t giving up. It wasn’t a cry of defeat. It was a shout of victory. It wasn’t weakness; it was completion. Jesus didn’t tap out. He followed through. He didn’t say, “I am finished”— because He wasn’t. And neither are you. You may feel tired. You may feel broken. You may even feel like tapping out. But when you’re at the edge, don’t declare “I am finished.” Instead, remember: What Jesus finished on the cross means you don’t have to live defeated. You might feel empty, but you are not done. You might feel wounded, but you are not worthless. You might feel tired, but in Christ, you are still standing. Tetelestai… IT IS FINISHED.
