What does 'It is finished' imply about Jesus' suffering?

Answered in 1 source

'It is finished' signifies the end of Jesus' suffering as He completed the atoning sacrifice for human sin.

When Jesus utters 'It is finished,' He signifies that His suffering has come to a complete end. His life was marked by continuous suffering, from rejection to the agony of the crucifixion. His declaration indicates that these sufferings fulfilled the prophecies and requirements set forth in Scripture regarding the Messiah’s suffering and death. No further suffering for sin or sacrificial offering is needed, as His is the perfect and sufficient sacrifice.
