Let's Have A Drink John 19:28

The Gospel Of John 19:28
28. After this, Jesus knowing that all things, were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

Let us look at the mening of this word thirst. Thirst is a craving brought on by a bodily condition known as dehydration. Dehyration is an abnormal depletion of bodily fluids, and left uncured produces death. Look at the bodily condition of Jesus, not only is our savior badly battered, brusied, and tired, now He is dehydrated on top of all that. "I Thirst," Said Jesus.

They had drug Jesus from judgment hall to judgment hall, where they had beaten the flesh from His back "I Thirst," Said Jesus.

They laid an old rugged cross on His back "I Thirst", Said Jeus. Jesus carried this old rugged cross to a place called Calvary. On His way to Calvary people spat on Him and pulled the hair from His beard. "I Thirst", Said Jesus. We are talking about His bodily condition.

When Jesus got to Calvary they stretched Him on the cross and put nails in His hands and a nail in His feet.

They lifted Jesus up with a crown of thorns pressed down on His head.
Jesus suffered this bodily condition in order to satisfy the craving of our souls.

John 4:14 say But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Jesus said "I Thirst" because He knew we were sinners and could only be saved by Gods grace.
Jesus Said "I Thirst" because He knew we were messed up from the ground up,
Jesus said " I Thirst" because He knew we couldn't make it on our own.

Jesus said "I Thirst" because He was willing to give His body as a living sacrifice to save our souls.

Jesus said in John 7:37-38 If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Jesus gave up His body to save our souls that we would have to thirst no more. If you are feeling down today have a drink of Jesus and He will make it alright. Call on that matchless name of Jesus and He will make it right. Don't let the troubles of life dehydrate you turn it over to Jesus and He will be your strength and will guide you through.
