Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 27:50

"And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit." — Matthew 27:50 (ASV)

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

Christ's strength was not exhausted; his last word was uttered with a loud voice, like the shout of a conquering warrior. And what a word it was, It is finished! Thousands of sermons have been preached upon that little sentence; but who can tell all the meaning that lies compacted within it? It is a kind of infinite expression for breadth, and depth, and length, and height altogether immeasurable.

Christ's life being finished, perfected, completed, he yielded up the ghost, willingly dying, laying down his life as he said he would: I lay down my life for the sheep. I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.

Christ’s strength was not exhausted. His last word was uttered with a loud voice, like the shout of a conquering warrior. And what a word it was, It is finished!
