Thousands of years after Adam failed; "The Second Adam" completed His task and pleased The Father in doing so. It's not the end of the story - the story has just begun. The veil has been removed and access to God restored. In reality, He will never speak His last words. But there are moments in His exsistance that do have the sense of an ending with a new beginning. This is one of those moments.
