Perhaps the fulfillment of the law satisfying the need for justification?

He satisfied God's wrath while also showing God's mercy through His sinless life and (unjust) crucifixion. I always thought it meant His human life had ended, and so had the major part of His mission to reconcil His people to God.

An interesting thing caught my attention this morning. The question has been asked why did Jesus have to hang on the cross or tree as some versions put it? The common answer is that it was his purpose and that is correct but there's more. Jesus had to take our sins upon himself to pay the ultimate and final punishment to appease God's need for justification. So why a cross/tree and not just drown him, or run him through with a sword, etc?
I was listening to an audio version of the KJV Bible on my way to work this morning Deuteronomy 21:22-23 really made my ears perk up.
And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. Deut. 21:22-23 KJV
Our sins are the accursed of God. Does that make sense?

Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
In De 21:22-23, it is the one hanged that is accursed, not his sins. Yeshua was the one hanging and he became cursed for our sake so that he could redeem us from the payment/curse the law required, death. He also hung on a tree/cross to fulfill the type of the brazen serpent on the pole (Jn 13:14).
The following are excerpts from a study of John at:
http://www.gracegod.com/Study Books/Gospel of John.pdf
What is Finished? The perfect sacrifice, that the Scripture may be fulfilled.
Jesus made SEVEN statements on the cross. The first, a prayer, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." (Lk 23:34). The second was spoken to the penitent thief, "Verily, I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with Me in paradise." (Lk 23:43). Third, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" (Mat 27:46) The fourth, "Woman, behold thy son; son behold thy mother." (Jn 19:26). Fifth, "I thirst." (Jn 19:28). The sixth, "It is finished." (Joh 19:28 ). Seventh, "Into Thy hands I commit my Spirit." (Luk 23:46).
Even when He says, "I thirst," it is also directly said, "that the Scripture may be fulfilled." (Joh 19:28 .) In the volume of the book it is written of Me. I delight to do Thy will, 0 My God; yea Thy law is within My heart." (Ps 40:8) The many sacrifices of the Law are here displayed by the one perfect Sacrifice which cannot and needs not ever be repeated.

He finished all the work his Father gave him to do to bring about salvation for mankind. The final work was dying for our sins.

He was finished with the work He came to do at that time.
Conquer death
Sacrificial Lamb, forgiveness
Of course there is 2 advents:
Luke 4:18-21
Jesus went to the synagogue and stood up and read,
From the book of Isaiah,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor, He hath sent Me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Then He closed the book, and sat down and said, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
He was reading Isaiah 61:1-2
But He stopped in middle of scripture, as you can see in verse 2.
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, then stopped reading.
If He kept reading it would have said,
And the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn.
This will be the 2nd Advent.
Also when He said,
My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
He was quoting the scripts of Psalm 22:
Verse 1
My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Why are Thou so far from helping Me, and from the words of My roaring?
Read the whole chapter, it is about His crucifixion.
Verse 24 also states, neither hath He hid His face from Him, but when He cried unto Him, He heard.
Go to last verse,
They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this.
It is finished.
