Thirst is a common-place misery, such as may happen to peasants or beggars; it is a real pain, and not a thing of a fancy or a nightmare of dreamland. You may think that this remark is not needed; but I have met with one or two cases where it was required; and I have often said I would preach a sermon for even one person, and, therefore, I make this remark, even though it should rebuke but one. "Deliver him to the tormentors," was the word of the king in the parable; it shall be fulfilled to you "Depart ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."

They prefer a ceremonial pompous and gaudy; the swell of music, the glitter of costly garments, the parade of learning all these must minister grandeur to the world's religion, and thus shut out the simple followers of the Lamb. Your heir of royalty is magnificently drawn along the streets in his stately chariot, sitting at his ease: my princely sufferer walks with weary feet, marking the road with crimson drops; not borne, but bearing; not carried, but carrying his cross. I suppose that the "I thirst" was uttered softly, so that perhaps only one and another who stood near the cross heard it at all; in contrast with the louder cry of "Lama sabachthani" and the triumphant shout of "It is finished": but that soft, expiring sigh, "I thirst," has ended for us the thirst which else, insatiably fierce, had preyed upon us throughout eternity. This is man's treatment of his Saviour. A few times the sun will go up and down the hill; a few more moons will wax and wane, and then we shall receive the glory. Every word, therefore, you see teaches us some grand fundamental doctrine of our blessed faith. Let us now gaze for awhile upon CHRIST CARRYING HIS CROSS. 1 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. The high places of earth's worship and honor are not for us.

This is what the Apostle meant when he said, "I fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the Church." We are to reckon upon all this, and should the worst befal us, it is to be no strange thing to us. III.

I cannot think that natural thirst was all he felt. You and I have nothing else to preach. Some of us, indeed, confess that, if we had read this narrative of suffering in a romance, we should have wept copiously, but the story of Christ's sufferings does not cause the excitement and emotion one would expect. Weep not for him, but for these. This cross was a ponderous machine; not so heavy, perhaps, as some pictures would represent it, but still no light burden to a man whose shoulders were raw with the lashes of the Roman scourge. He ran and filled a sponge with vinegar: it was the best way he knew of putting a few drops of moisture to the lips of one who was suffering so much; but though he felt a degree of pity, it was such as one might show to a dog; he felt no reverence, but mocked as he relieved. "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." John 19:30. It is almost done, thou Christ of God; thou hast almost saved thy people; there remaineth but one thing more, that thou shouldst actually die, and hence thy strong desire to come to the end and complete thy labour.

In the Lord of Hosts, who shows his power in the sufferings of Christ and of his Church. Here you see how the mortal flesh had to share in the agony of the inward spirit. It came from the parched lips of the Divine Victim towards the close of his agony, and after the darkness which endured from the sixth to the ninth hour. Here, as everywhere else, we are constrained to say of our Lord, "Never man spake like this man." Nay more; he is banished from their society, as if he were a leper whose breath would be infectious whose presence would scatter plague. He thirsts to bless you and to receive your grateful love in return; he thirsts to see you looking with believing eye to his fulness, and holding out your emptiness that he may supply it. There was nothing behind in the price, but there is something behind in the manifested power, and we must continue to fill up that measure of revealed power, carrying each one of us the cross with Christ, till the last shame shall have been poured upon his cause, and he shall reign for ever and ever. Who among us would not willingly pour out his soul unto death if he might but give refreshment to the Lord? We may well remember our faults this day. It was the common place of death. We do not know what may have been the color of alimony face, but it was most likely black. The most careless eye discerns it. Therefore while he thirsts give him to drink this day. Oh! Spurgeon left this earth for his heavenly hope in 1892. Ah, that I cannot tell, except his own great love. The soldiery mocked and insulted him in every way that cruelty and scorn could devise.

Hast thou laid thy hand upon his head, confessed thy sin, and trusted in him? The sinful find our conversation distasteful; in our pursuits the carnal have no interest; things dear to us are dross to worldlings, while things precious to them are contemptible to us. Did I not describe last Sabbath the knotted scourges which fell upon the Saviours back? The mind of man is like the daughters of the horseleech, which cry for ever, "Give, give."

I tell you, sirs, that yonder malefactor carried his cross and died on it; and you will carry your sorrows, and be damned with them, except you repent. What a cataract of immortal souls dashes downwards to the pit every hour! Let me add, that when we look at the sufferings of Christ, we ought to sorrow deeply for the souls of all unregenerate men and women. If you will look, there is the mark of his blood-red shoulder upon that heavy cross. Mark then, Christian, Jesus does not suffer so as to exclude your suffering.

He saw its streets flowing like bloody rivers; he saw the temple naming up to heaven; he marked the walls loaded with Jewish captives crucified by command of Titus; he saw the city razed to the ground and sown with salt, and he said, "Weep not for me, but for yourselves and for your children, for the day shall come when ye shall say to the rocks, Hide us, and to the mountains, Fall upon us." This was intended at once to proclaim his guilt and intimate his doom. The Via Dolorosa, as the Romanists call it, is a long street at the present time, but it may have been but a few yards. Thirst is no royal grief, but an evil of universal manhood; Jesus is brother to the poorest and most humble of our race. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken,"[ a] 37 and, as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced."[ b] Read full chapter Footnotes I will not say it is because we are unfaithful to our Master that the world is more kind to us, but I half suspect it is, and it is very possible that if we were more thoroughly Christians the world would more heartily detest us, and if we would cleave more closely to Christ we might expect to receive more slander, more abuse, less tolerance, and less favor from men. Rutherford says, "Whenever Christ gives us a cross, he cries, 'Halves, my love.'" May we not be half ashamed of our pleasures when he says, "I thirst"?

"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" is the first. The flood of his grief has passed the high-water mark, and began to be assuaged. Such a greeting had the Lord of glory, but alas, it was not the shout of welcome, but the yell of "Away with him! Have we not often given him vinegar to drink? Hark how their loud voices demand that he should be hastened to execution! Remember that, and expect to suffer. Remember how Paul said, "I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. good God! Spurgeon's Bible Commentary John 19 John 19:1-16 John 19:1. We are in the world, but we must never be of it; we are not to be secluded like monks in the cloister, but we are to be separated like Jews among Gentiles; men, but not of men; helping, aiding, befriending, teaching, comforting, instructing, but not sinning either to escape a frown or to win a smile.

Borrowed from his lips it well suiteth my mouth. It is said that a German regiment was at that time stationed in Judea, and I should not wonder if they were the lineal ancestors of those German theologians of modern times who have mocked the Savior, tampered with revelation, and cast the vile spittle of their philosophy into the face of truth. January 1, 1970 A Plain Answer to an Important Enquiry "Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." John vi.

He said, "I thirst," in order that one might bring him drink, even as you have wished to have a cooling draught handed to you when you could not help yourself. Thus have I tried to spy out a measure of teaching, by using that one glass for the soul's eye, through which we look upon "I thirst" as the ensign of his true humanity. Usually the crier went before with an announcement such as this, "This is Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, who for making himself a King, and stirring up the people, has been condemned to die." John, the gospel of faith by Harrison, Everett Falconer, 1902- from Everyman's Bible Commentary series. It is a blow at the fable of purgatory which strikes it to the heart. He was innocent, and yet he thirsted; shall we marvel if guilty ones are now and then chastened? ye unregenerate men and women, and there are not a few such here now, remember that when God saw Christ in the sinner's place he did not spare him, and when he finds you without Christ, he will not spare you.

Hail, everlasting King in heaven, thou dost admit to thy paradise whomsoever thou wilt! He is indeed "Immanuel, God with us" everywhere. The power to suffer for another, the capacity to be self-denying even to an extreme to accomplish some great work for God this is a thing to be sought after, and must be gained before our work is done, and in this Jesus is before us our example and our strength. Brother, thirst I pray you to have your workpeople saved. But what shall be your cry when you shall say, "Good God! sinner, if God hides his face from Christ, how much less will he spare you! is the fourth cry, and it illustrates the penalty endured by our Substitute when he bore our sins, and so was forsaken of his God. Believing this, let us tenderly feel how very near akin to us our Lord Jesus has become. Add to Cart. Appetite was the door of sin, and therefore in that point our Lord was put to pain. He poureth out the streams that run among the hills, the torrents which rush adown the mountains, and the flowing rivers which enrich the plains. A carnal appetite of the body, the satisfaction of the desire for food, first brought us down under the first Adam, and now the pang of thirst, the denial of what the body craved for, restores us to our place. If not, bestir yourselves at once. A phantom, as some have called him, could not suffer in his fashion: but Jesus really suffered, not only the more refined pains of delicate and sensitive minds, but the rougher and commoner pangs of flesh and blood. And well they may; the son of such noble parents deserves a nation's love. It seems to me very wonderful that this "I thirst" should be, as it were, the clearance of it all. It was one of Death's castles; here he stored his gloomiest trophies; he was the grim lord of that stronghold. In the former cry, as he opened Paradise, you saw the Son of God; now you see him who was verily and truly born of a women, made under the law; and under the law you see him still, for he honours his mother and cares for her in the last article of death. A refined and heavenly appetite, a craving for our Lord. Some of these were persons of considerable rank; many of them had ministered to him of their substance; amidst the din and howling of the crowd, and the noise of the soldiery, they raised an exceeding loud and bitter cry, like Rachel weeping for her children, who would not be comforted, because they were not. It is done. Then the goat was led away by a fit man into the wilderness, and it carried away the sins of the people, so that if they were sought for, they could not be found. "Weep for yourselves," says Christ, "rather than for me." And said, Hail, King of the Jews! London shall see the glory of the one: Jerusalem beheld the shame of the other.
