Context:

John 19:28: "After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst."

V. 29: "Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth."

V. 30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

John 19:28 states that all things were accomplished in CHRIST's death on the cross. All things! HIS death abolished the law. HIS death saved us from our deserving fate (Hell). HIS death freed us from the chains of sin that we should dwell in it no longer. HIS death set the captives free (those who slept in the bosom of Abraham—GOD's servants). JESUS' death has accomplished all of this and so much more! When JESUS said, "It is finished", he meant just that.
