A Spiritual Thirst...

This weeks message continues the series on the Statements from the Cross. This week, we look at the statement, "I am Thirsty."

Often, I think that as we look at a Scripture passage, we can see different layers. Often the first of these layers is the literal meaning. It means just what it says. When Jesus said He was thirsty, it means that He was really thirsty.

It had probably been close to twenty-four hours at this point since He had anything to eat or drink. That coupled with a massive blood loss from the beatings and floggings, he was really thirsty.

But in this verse, I think there is another level, a spiritual level, in which Jesus thirsts. Taking on the sin of the world, feeling forsaken by God, separated from God by our sin, Jesus has a real thirst.
