Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
John 19:30
Jesus' mission to be the Lamb of God started before creation. It continued as He was made flesh. Along the way God's people sacrificed animals. Jesus on the cross would be the last sacrifice. This was not a cry of defeat, but an announcement of a new kingdom and a new covenant, complete redemption for all. A shout of victory. That's the Jesus style.
