"Preach The Word"



SERIES: WORDS FROM THE CROSS

SUBJECT: The Word of Agony

READINGS: John 19:28-30; Psalm 69

TEXT: ''...Jesus...said, 'I thirst!''(John 19:28).

Introduction

Jesus has hung some six hours on the cross. His blood vessels are almost dried up, a dreadful fever rages through His frame, His tongue is parched, His lips swollen. The spiritual desolation through which He has passed has practically exhausted any remaining strength. With bleeding mouth, bulging eyes, hoarseness and unutterable agony He formulates the words "I thirst."

This word of agony reveals:

I. The Reality of the Savior's Humanity (John 19:28)

1) He Thirsted in Life (John 4:6-7)

2) He Thirsted in Death (John 19:28)

II. The Extremity of the Savior's Humiliation(John 19:28)

1) The Humiliation of the Creator's Thirst (John 19:28)

2) The Humiliation of the Redeemer's Thirst (John 19:28)

III. The Avidity of the Savior's Hopefulness (John 19:28)

1) The Father's Commendation of His Redemptive Work (John 12:28)

2) The Sinner's Recognition of His Redemptive Work (John 4:7)

Conclusion:

Jesus is thirsting still. What have you given Him to drink? Is it the sour wine of pity and mockery, or the sweet wine of unreserved love, devotion and full surrender? Only as we satisfy His heart will we know the satisfaction of our own hearts.
