John 19:30
This powerful phrase is spoken by Jesus as He hangs on the cross, marking the completion of His sacrificial mission and the fulfillment of God’s plan for human salvation.
Biblical Passage: John 19:30 (KJV)
"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
In Dalí’s interpretation, the moment would be portrayed as a surreal expression of spiritual triumph and cosmic significance. Jesus would be depicted with a peaceful, triumphant expression, His body and the cross possibly rendered in melting, fluid forms to represent the spiritual completion of His mission. The light emanating from Him would symbolize the divine fulfillment, while abstract forms could represent the spiritual and cosmic changes taking place as sin and death are defeated. This moment would not just signify physical death, but also spiritual victory, opening the way for humanity’s reconciliation with God and the promise of eternal life.
