Christ did not yield up His life till He had accomplished the work which He came to do, and with His parting breath He exclaimed, "It is finished." John 19:30. The battle had been won. His right hand and His holy arm had gotten Him the victory. As a Conqueror He planted His banner on the eternal heights. Was there not joy among the angels? All heaven triumphed in the Saviour's victory. Satan was defeated, and knew that his kingdom was lost.

Kristus opgav ikke ånden, før han havde fuldført den gerning, som han var kommen for at gøre, og med sit sidste åndedrag udbrød han: "Det er fuldbragt!" Joh. 19,30. Han havde vundet slaget. Hans højre hånd og hans hellige arm havde skaffet ham sejren. Som en sejrherre plantede han sit banner på de evige høje. Var der mon ikke glæde blandt englene Hele Himmelen jublede over Frelserens sejr. Satan var overvundet, og han vidste, at han havde mistet sit rige.
