John17:4 I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
tHIS WAS SAID BEFORE THE CRUCIFICTION .Now if part of his mission was to die for our sins then why did he already proclaimed that his work was COMPLETED?

John 17
In this chapter our Lord prays,
1. For himself, ver. 1-5. John xvii, 1-5
2. For the apostles, ver. 6-19; John xvii, 6-19 and again, ver. 24- 26. John xvii, 24-26
3. For all believers, ver. 20-23. John xvii, 20-23 And
4. For the world, ver. 21-23. John xvii, 21-23 In his prayer he comprises all he had said from chap. xiii, 31, and seals, as it were, all he had hitherto done, beholding things past, present, and to come. This chapter contains the easiest words, and the deepest sense of any in all the Scripture: yet is here no incoherent rhapsody, but the whole is closely and exactly connected.

he had spread the knews God had given him.
it is part of a prayer converming he is about to die.
1After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

Because dying on the cross for our sins was His mission. He resurrected on the third day and He is sitting on the right hand of the Father . His work was completed on Calvary.

Well you might say that the worldly part was completed--however there remained much more on the spiritual path to be achieved as regards his disciples and others who had been initiated.

What will really bake your "noodle" is looking back at the prophecies which came long before he came here to be among us....
He said this because the momentum of the work which he was doing was going in that direction..... He had come... as was prophecied....

He didn't finish the work until he died on the cross. He spoke about future events in the past tense because those events like his death on the cross were pre-destinated. They were going to happen no matter what.

He said on the cross, "It is finished." What you're talking about, I think he meant preaching and doing all his miracles. It wasn't finished until he died and rose.
