As not a bone of him shall be broken, so not a word shall be lost. There were, as you know, seven of those last words, and seven is the number of perfection and fulness; the number which blends the three of the infinite God with the four of complete creation. Perhaps, dear sister, you carry about with you a gnawing disease which eats at your heart, but Jesus took our sicknesses, and his cup was more bitter than yours. Let each of us say "Tis all my business here below To cry, Behold the Lamb!" John 1:30-31. Our great hero, the destroyer of Death, bearded the lion in his den, slew the monster in his own castle, and dragged the dragon captive from his own den. More solemn still is the reflection that according to our Lord's own teaching, thirst will also be the eternal result of sin, for he says concerning the rich glutton, "In hell he lift up his eyes, being in torment," and his prayer, which was denied him, was, "Father Abraham, send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame." V. Lastly, the cry of "I thirst" is to us THE PATTERN OF OUR DEATH WITH HIM. To-day I invite your attention to another Prince, marching in another fashion through his metropolis. Conceal your religion? Dear friend, if you think that you suffer all that a Christian can suffer; if all God's billows roll over you, yet, remember, there is not one drop of wrath in all your sea of sorrow. If you will look, there is the mark of his blood-red shoulder upon that heavy cross. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe. We read, "The soldiers also mocked him, offering him vinegar." Then they said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with their hands. What if the bread be dry, what if the medicine be nauseous; yet for his thirst there was no relief but gall and vinegar, and dare we complain? For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh." For several Sabbath mornings my mind has been directed into subjects which I might fitly call the deep things of God. Dear friends, we must remember that, although no one died on the cross with Christ, for atonement must be executed by a solitary Savior, yet another person did carry the cross for Christ; for this world, while redeemed by price by Christ, and by Christ alone, is to be redeemed by divine power manifested in the sufferings and labors of the saints as well as those of Christ. It seems to me very wonderful that this "I thirst" should be, as it were, the clearance of it all. This was intended at once to proclaim his guilt and intimate his doom. Remember that, and expect to suffer. In the multitude there was a sparse sprinkling of tender-hearted women, probably those who had been healed, or whose children had been blessed by him. Have we not often given him vinegar to drink? Take up your cross daily and follow him. I know he loves to receive from you, because he delights even in a cup of cold water that you give to one of his disciples; how much more will he delight in the giving of your whole self to him? 2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, . Always was he in harmony with himself, and his own body was always expressive of his soul's cravings as well as of its own longings. the people saw him in the street, not arrayed in the purple robe, but wearing his garment without seam, woven from the top throughout, the common smock-frock, in fact, of the countrymen of Palestine, and they said at once, "Yes, 'tis he, the man who healed the sick, and raised the dead; the mighty teacher who was wont to sit upon the mountain-top, or stand in the temple courts and preach with authority, and not as the Scribes." And yet, though he was Lord of all he had so fully taken upon himself the form of a servant and was so perfectly made in the likeness of sinful flesh, that he cried with fainting voice, "I thirst." Weep not for him, but for these. 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. crucify him!" London shall see the glory of the one: Jerusalem beheld the shame of the other. She craved full flagons of love though she was already overpowered by it. Certain philosophers have said that they love the pursuit of truth even better than the knowledge of truth. All this is a blessed clog upon us, and a means of keeping us more near the Lord. "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" is the first. Those pictures which represent our Lord as wearing the crown of thorns upon the tree have therefore at least some scriptural warrant. 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. The Geneva Series of Commentaries include historic commentaries on biblical books written by some of the great theologians in the history of the church. You do suffer. It is the empty cup placed under the flowing stream; the penniless hand held out for heavenly alms." . You young believers, who have lately followed Christ, should father and mother forsake you, remember you were bidden to reckon upon it; should brothers and sisters deride, you must put this down as part of the cost of being a Christian. That impenitent thief went from the cross of his great agony and it was agony indeed to die on a cross he went to that place, to the flames of hell; and you, too, may go from the bed of sickness, and from the abode of poverty, to perdition, quite as readily as from the home of ease and the house of plenty. "Verily I say unto thee, to-day shalt thou be with me in paradise" this is the Lord Jesus in kingly power, opening with the key of David a door which none can shut, admitting into the gates of heaven the poor soul who had confessed him on the tree. It was pain that dried his mouth and made it like an oven, till he declared, in the language of the twenty-second psalm, "My tongue cleaveth to my jaws." The last word but one, "It is finished." Brother, thirst I pray you to have your workpeople saved. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. Nay more; he is banished from their society, as if he were a leper whose breath would be infectious whose presence would scatter plague. Complain not, then. Includes cross references, questions, verse by verse commentary, outline, and applications on John chapter 19 for small groups. Let us muse upon the fact that Jesus was conducted without the gates of the city. In the same song he speaks of his church, and says, "The roof of thy mouth is as the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak." NOTICE the connection, or you will miss the meaning of the words; for at first sight it looks as if our Saviour taught us that it John:6:29 The Marvellous Magnet Such a greeting had the Lord of glory, but alas, it was not the shout of welcome, but the yell of "Away with him! They put on him his own clothes that the multitudes might discern him to be the same man, the very man who had professed to be the Messias. And what makes him love us so? Coming fresh from the country, not knowing what was going on, he joined with the mob, and they made him carry the cross. Jesus is therefore hunted out of the city, beyond the gate, with the will and force of his oven nation, but he journeys not against his own will; even as the lamb goeth as willingly to the shambles as to the meadow, so doth Christ cheerfully take up his cross and go without the camp. The sorrow of these good women was a very proper sorrow; Jesus did not by any means forbid it, he only recommended another sorrow as being better; not finding fault with this, but still commending that. Even when man compassionates the sufferings of Christ, and man would have ceased to be human if he did not, still he scorns him; the very cup which man gives to Jesus is at once scorn and pity, for "the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel." This was the homage which the Son of God received from men; harmless and gentle, he came here with no purpose but that of doing good, and this is how mankind treated him. They put his own clothes upon him, because they were the perquisites of the executioner, as modern hangmen take the garments of those whom they execute, so did the four soldiers claim a right to his raiment. The high places of earth's worship and honor are not for us. Well, beloved, the cross we have to carry is only for a little while at most. Did we not do so years ago before we knew him? Others think that Simon carried the whole of the cross. It began with the mouth of appetite, when it was sinfully gratified, and it ends when a kindred appetite is graciously denied. But ye ask me where is the spouse, the king's daughter fair and beautiful? Was not the Redeemer led thither to aggravate his shame? and they smote him with their hands. Let this mind be in you also. Shall the servant be above his Master, or the disciple above his Lord? For a biblical, reformed, and historic collection of commentaries, the Geneva Series is unsurpassed. "I thirst," ay, this is my soul's word with her Lord. Simon was an African; he came from Cyrene. "Women, behold thy son!" "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." Rutherford used words somewhat to this effect, "I thirst for my Lord and this is joy; a joy which no man taketh from me. For his sake we may rejoice in self-denials, and accept Christ and a crust as all we desire between here and heaven. There can be no shadow of doubt but that our Lord was really crucified, and no one substituted for him. It is a blow at the fable of purgatory which strikes it to the heart. So were the streets of Jerusalem; for great multitudes followed him. His wounds unstaunched and raw, fresh bleeding from beneath the lash, would make this scarlet robe adhere to him, and when it was dragged off; his gashes would bleed anew. Amid all the anguish of his spirit his last words prove him to have remained fully self-possessed, true to his forgiving nature, true to his kingly office, true to his filial relationship, true to his God, true to his love of the written word, true to his glorious work, and true to his faith in his Father. This is a kind of sweet whereof if a man hath much he must have more, and when he hath more he is under a still greater necessity to receive more, and so on, his appetite for ever growing by that which it feeds upon, till he is filled with all the fulness of God. No sufferings of ours have anything to do with the atonement of sin. Think, dear friends, there are some in this congregation who as yet have no interest in Jesu's blood, some sitting next to you, your nearest friends who, if they were now to close their eyes in death, would open them in hell! Well might the Master say, "Weep not for me, but for yourselves." I believe there was a tenderness in Christ's heart to the Jew of a special character. Thirst is no royal grief, but an evil of universal manhood; Jesus is brother to the poorest and most humble of our race. He can receive vinegar, but not lukewarm love. We are to reckon upon all this, and should the worst befal us, it is to be no strange thing to us. John 19:28 . What, then, dear friends, should be the sorrows excited by a view of Christ's sufferings? Add to Cart. In that cry there is reconciliation to God. Believing this, let us tenderly feel how very near akin to us our Lord Jesus has become. Christ must die a felon's death, and it must be upon the felon's gallows, in the place where horrid crimes had met their due reward. I pray you, lend your ears to such faint words as I can utter on a subject all too high for me, the march of the world's Maker along the way of his great sorrow; your Redeemer traversing the rugged path of suffering, along which he went with heaving heart and heavy footsteps, that he might pave a royal road of mercy for his enemies. In fact, the tendency is to exalt man above God and give him the highest place. "Wist ye not," said he, while yet a boy, "that I must be about my Father's business?" Did not the prophecies say that man would give to his incarnate God gall to eat and vinegar to drink? The conquest of the appetites, the entire subjugation of the flesh, must be achieved, for before our great Exemplar said, "It is finished," wherein methinks he reached the greatest height of all, he stood as only upon the next lower step to that elevation, and said, "I thirst." Romanists pretend to know; in fact they know the very spot where Veronica wiped the blessed face with her handkerchief, and found his likeness impressed upon it; we also know very well where that was not done; in fact they know the very spot where Jesus fainted, and if you go to Jerusalem you can see all these different places if you only carry enough credulity with you; but the fact is the city has been so razed, and burned, and ploughed, that there is little chance of distinguishing any of these positions, with the exception, it may be, of Mount Calvary, which being outside the walls may possibly still remain. All nations gathered about my Lord, both great and mean men clustered around his person. Conservative, but not too much depth. We will now take the text in a third way, and may the Spirit of God instruct us once again. It is the opinion of some commentators that Simon only carried one end of the cross, and not the whole of it. So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. 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. And now, brethren, our blessed Lord has at this time a thirst for communion with each one of you who are his people, not because you can do him good, but because he can do you good. Pilate, as we reminded you, scourged our Savior according to the common custom of Roman courts. John 19 He preached in the same church as C. H. Spurgeon over one hundred years earlier. If not, bestir yourselves at once. As Spurgeon puts it "Faith is described as 'receiving' Jesus. The extreme tension produced a burning feverishness. Universal manhood, left to itself, rejects, crucifies, and mocks the Christ of God. Now we see Jesus brought before the priests and rulers, who pronounce him guilty; God himself imputes our sins to him; he was made sin for us; and, as the substitute for our guilt, bearing our sin upon his shoulders for that cross was a sort of representation in wood of our guilt and doom we see the great Scape-goat led away by the appointed officers of justice. We used to melt when we heard about his sufferings, but we did not turn from our sins. "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. Although Simon carried Christ's cross, he did not volunteer to do it, but they compelled him. John 19:28 J.R. Thomson This is both the shortest of all the dying utterances of Jesus, and it is the one which is most closely related to himself. I cannot roll up into one word all the mass of sorrows which met upon the head of Christ who died for us, therefore it is impossible for me to tell you what streams, what oceans of grief must roll over your spirit if you die as you now are. Shall carnal appetites be indulged and bodies pampered when Jesus cried :I thirst"? 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." We shall perhaps know it in our measure in our dying hour, but not yet, nor ever so terribly as he did. Here you see how the mortal flesh had to share in the agony of the inward spirit. II. How near akin the thirsty Saviour is to us; let us love him more and more. We shall by the assistance of the Holy Spirit try to regard these words of our Saviour in a five-fold light. How great the love which led him to such a condescension as this! So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. V. I close with THE SAVIOR'S WARNING QUESTION "If they do these things in the green tree, what will they do in the dry?". Cover it with a cloak? III. Romanists of all ages have wrought upon the feelings of the people in this manner, and to a degree the attempt is commendable, but if it shall all end in tears of pity, no good is done. " And having said this, He breathed His last. John 19:3. I have heard sermons, and studied works by Romish writers upon the passion and agony, which have moved me to copious tears, but I am not clear that all the emotion was profitable. We know from experience that the present effect of sin in every man who indulges in it is thirst of soul. Betrayal and arrest in the garden. He was innocent, and yet he thirsted; shall we marvel if guilty ones are now and then chastened? Alas poor African, thou hast been compelled to carry the cross even until now. Oh! There is bread upon your table to-day, and there will be at least a cup of cold water to refresh you. Jesus was deserted of God; and if he, who was only imputedly a sinner, was deserted, how much more shall you be? 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. He goes forth, then, bearing his cross. Beeke, Joel R. & Thompson, Nick. If we weep for the sufferings of Christ in the same way as we lament the sufferings of another man, our emotions will be only natural, and may work no good. It was one of Death's castles; here he stored his gloomiest trophies; he was the grim lord of that stronghold. The Redeemer's cry of "I thirst" is a solemn lesson of patience to his afflicted. Lloyd-Jones opens John 19:31-37 to answer that very question. It showed that he had laid down his life of himself. I think, beloved friends, that the cry of "I thirst" was THE MYSTICAL EXPRESSION OF THE DESIRE OF HIS HEART "I thirst." Our Lord in his death-cries, as in all else, was perfection itself. See how man at his best mingles admiration of the Saviour's person with scorn of his claims; writing books to hold him up as an example and at the same moment rejecting his deity; admitting that he was a wonderful man, but denying his most sacred mission; extolling his ethical teaching and then trampling on his blood: thus giving him drink, but that drink vinegar. Here is the safety of the believer in the hour of his departure, and his instant admission into the presence of his Lord. "Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing." (7) Luke 23:46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, INTO THY HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT. The Christian faith and motives for Christian worship are based on the certainty of facts. You carry the cross after him. Our Lord Jesus came forth, willing to be exposed to their scorn. He saith, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Let us magnify and bless our Redeemer's name. "After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst." I differ from them greatly, but I will say this, that next to the actual enjoyment of my Lord's presence I love to hunger and to thirst after him. I wonder he has ever received them, as one marvels why he received this vinegar; and yet he has received them, and smiled upon us for presenting them. But further, my brethren; this, I think, is the great lesson from Christ's being slaughtered without the gate of the city let us go forth, therefore, without the camp, bearing his reproach. Beloved, let us thirst for the souls of our fellow-men. There is the complete justification of the believer, since the work by which he is accepted is fully accomplished. John Chapter 19 - In-depth, verse-by-verse commentary and Bible study of John chapter 19 in plain English. 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. Think of that! Either Christ must die for me, or else I must die for myself the second death; if he did not carry the curse for me, then on me must it rest for ever and ever. and the answer shall come back, "Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; but ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh." 19:1-18 Little did Pilate think with what holy regard these sufferings of Christ would, in after-ages, be thought upon and spoken of by the best and greatest of men. The next time we are in pain or are suffering depression of spirit we will remember that our Lord understands it all, for he has had practical, personal experience of it. John 18:19-40 - Glory on Trial A. He sipped of the vinegar, and he was refreshed, and no sooner has he thrown off the thirst than he shouted like a conqueror, "It is finished," and quitted the field, covered with renown. "I thirst," is his human body tormented by grievous pain. 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.
