Our Savior having completed His
mission on earth; having been subjected to much pain, sorrow and grief; having
been suspended between the heavens and the earth, nailed to Calvary’s cross, on
Golgotha’s dreary heights; having bowed His sacred head and exclaimed—while the
body was racked with intense agony, and the mind sorely distressed—“It is
finished” (thus signifying that the birth of salvation was completed and
His earthly mission ended), . . . (David H. Elton, “God’s Greatest Gift,” Latter
Day Saints Southern Star 2, no. 33 [July 14, 1900], 258, emphasis in bold added)
