Truth 4 the Week
Topic: Thirst of Jesus
Bible Verse: John:19:28 knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
Message: Jesus suffered on the cross as a human His nature of mankind was reflected when He told He is thirsty (Psalms:22:15 & Hebrews:2:14). Though man was sinful & deserved punishment; we see God's mercy to turn the bitter waters of marah into sweet for Israelites (Exodus:15:23-25). But Jesus who came as man & lived a Holy life was treated as sinner for us & was given a bitter water for thirst (John:19:29). Secondly, Jesus received this cup of sorrow so that he will be able to deliver many & give them living water (Isaiah:53:12 & John:16:6-8). We have to consider the thirst of our soul and draw close to Jesus to quench the thirst with rivers of living water (Isaiah:55:12 & Psalm:42:2). Finally the holy spirit is the river of living water which God gave for free to everyone who put their faith on Jesus (John:7:37-39 & Psalm:46:4). We should allow the Holy Spirit to grow in us daily and make us a blessing. (Ezekiel:47:1-12).
Prayer: Dear Lord quench the thirst of our souls with rivers of living water continue to speak with us in Jesus Name Amen
