“After this, Jesus knowing all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst” (John 19:28).
We refer to today as Good Friday. We commemorate the anniversary of Christ’s death on the Cross. Praise God Sunday is coming! Take time today to reflect on His death which made it possible for us to be saved. Throughout the weekend pause to praise God, not only for His death, but, also for His resurrection.
Yesterday and today’s verses show the humanity of Jesus. Until He drew His last breath, He was God in the flesh. With all the blood He lost during the Crucifixion, Jesus had to have been dehydrated. To be offered vinegar may have been customary, but, reading this, I saw this as cruel. Turns out, this is a fulfillment of Scripture (Psalm 69:21).
