"I thirst." -Jesus, when He was dying upon the Cross.


"Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, 'I thirst'. John 19:28

"The Prophets who foretold the particulars of the crucifixion, were inspired by Him who forsees the end from the begining; and the books they wrote under His inspiration ought not to be read as human compositions, but Divine. Great indeed are the difficulties of all who pretend to deny the inspiration of the Bible. It really requires more unreasoning faith to be an infidel than to be a Christian. The man who regards the repeated fulfillments of minute prophecies about Christ's death, such as the prophecies about His dress, His thirst, His pierced side, and His bones, as the result of chance, and not of design, must indeed be a credulous man." -JC Ryle

'I thirst' Do we thirst for Him in all we do? I sincerely hope so!

Yes, and if we do thirst, and go to Christ, He will let us drink from His Spirit, and out of our bellies will flow rivers of Living Waters.

Have a blessed Lord's Day mommanator.
