Jesus lived, the nonviolent, self-giving love of God to its fullest. He never compromised that love, even in the face of ridicule, punishment, and the cross. When he calls out, "It is accomplished!," he is announcing the wholeness of that life. In a way, it is the completion of God's original creation, because Jesus has fulfilled the life that God has intended for all of us "from the beginning", and opened a path of fulfillment for us. This is why we call Holy Friday "Good!" And because love is the power of God, the greatest power, death will never have the last word.
