A tee to remind you of our dear Jesus who died in our place to make us right with God. This tee is a blend between the beautiful tension of the violence of Jesus’ crucifixion and the victorious hope of His resurrection.
“When he had received the drink, Jesus said, ‘It is finished.’ With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” John 19:30
Tetelestai: this is the Greek word that translates to “it is finished.” These were the last words of our Jesus said before dying. It was in this moment when history would fulfill Scriptures and complete the prophesies of the Old Testament of the harrowing reality of killing the innocent God-man, which would be the final sacrifices to make peace between humans and the God of the Universe.
By His wounds: is from the Bible verse in Isaiah 53:5 that says, “…by His [Jesus] wounds we are healed.” This particular passage is Old Testament Bible prophecy that foreshadows Jesus’ crucifixion—to all of which would happen during the Roman Empire under governor Pontius Pilate.
The nail pierced hands: show the brutality and violence our Savior had to endure because of our sins. It should've been us who paid the debt of our sins against God. But instead He sent His one and only Son in our place to take the punishment of all sins.
The linen: represents Jesus victory against death and sin. Even though He laid dead in the tomb for three days, He would rise from the dead. The tomb was eventually found empty with just strips of linen and cloth which is physical proof that Jesus did what He said He would do: rise from the dead (John 2:19, John 20:6-7). No man has ever done that. But Jesus does and proves He is God. This resurrection seals the eternal destiny of those who place their faith in Jesus, and it would change the course and rewrite all of history.
So who is Jesus to you?
