His Waiting Proves It's Finished

Commentators like Spurgeon and Ellicott emphasize that Christ is 'expecting' or 'waiting' precisely because His sacrificial work is complete. Unlike the Old Testament priests who repeatedly offered sacrifices, Christ offered one perfect sacrifice and then sat down at God's right hand. His rest is the ultimate proof that His atonement was sufficient and final.
