Tetelestai | Conversation Starter Faith Tee

It doesn’t look like an English word.

That’s the point.

Tetelestai — the final word Jesus spoke from the cross.
Recorded in John 19:30.

“It is finished.”

Not “almost.”
Not “to be continued.”
Not “try harder.”

Finished.

In the original Greek, tetelestai was a declaration of completion — a debt paid in full. When Jesus said it, He wasn’t surrendering in defeat. He was proclaiming victory.

This shirt is designed to spark conversation.
People will ask what it means.

And you’ll get to tell them.

Minimal. Intentional. Theologically rich.
A simple word that carries eternal weight.

Because the work of salvation wasn’t started by us — and it isn’t sustained by us. It was finished at the cross.
