We can’t add to the work of Jesus – but sometimes we try. Listen as pastor Tullian Tchividjian returns and walks us through the substitution of Christ and what it means that, in Jesus’ words, IT IS FINISHED.

“If we are Christians, we live our lives under a banner that says ‘it is finished.’

Tullian shares his ongoing journey with grace.

“There’s rest that comes along with knowing that I already have the meaning and acceptance and love that I look for in my relationships, my hobbies… now I am free to love and give without needing love and something in return. What makes us exhausted in life isn’t anything outside of us – it’s this pressing need to justify ourselves by what we do, by what we can produce, or what we can become.”

Tullian unpacks:

• His own journey from shame to grace, to hypocrisy, back to grace.

• Why we can rest in Jesus’ finished work.

• The worse thing that could happen for a Christian.

• Why the gospel is just as necessary for Christians as non-Christians. “I am hoping and praying for a new kind of reformation.” Tullian points out that the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation is approaching; he calls for a return to grace and freedom that is only found in Christ.

• How the gospel frees us from idolatry.

• What Tim Tebow shows us about giving each other grace and feeling pressure from others.

“Jesus came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it on our behalf so we could experience the rest we long for. It makes my heart melt with love and gratitude and appreciation for Him, and fixes my eyes on Him, the author and perfecter of my faith.”
