What Was “Finished” On The Cross Of Calvary

John 19:28-30, “After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”

Many Bible students and preachers get this passage wrong. In fact, redemption wasn't finished on the cross. Jesus hadn't even died yet, been buried or risen from the dead. So, the Gospel wasn't completed yet. We must read the previous verses to understand the context of why Jesus said, "It is finished." ... 
John 19:28-30, "After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฑ, ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต, ๐—œ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ฟ, ๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฑ, ๐—œ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฑ: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
Jesus' words "I thirst" in John 19:28 is a fulfilled prophesy from Psalms 69:21, "They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink." Jesus meticulously made sure to fulfill all of the Messianic prophecies concerning Himself, that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.

In saying the words, "I thirst," all of the prophecies concerning Christ had been fulfilled, which is why He then said: "It is finished." This proper interpretation is plain to see if we include verses 26 and 27 with verse 28. When Jesus uttered the words "It is finished," it had nothing to do with the Gospel.
