1 | Why did He accept wine the second time? | John 19:30 | Hank | 5015 | ||
prayon, this question, an excellent one, brings to light one of the most poignant aspects of the crucifixion and the most crucial of all things in history -- that our blessed Lord willingly went to the cross, willingly suffered, and willingly died for all the sins of us all. He refused the first offer of sour wine, or vinegar mixed gall, because it contained an opiate to relieve pain. This He did before He was impaled to the cross. He did not drink because it would have acted to dull His senses. He must bear our sins in full consciousness. For Him it was necessary to bear the full load of man's sins with no impairment of His senses, no alleviation of His pain. When, for the second time He was offered it, He took the wine, because He knew then that "It is finished." He had done what the Father had sent Him to do. What a Savior! What a Savior! --Hank | ||||||
2 | Why did He accept wine the second time? | John 19:30 | gmsmith101 | 5053 | ||
I agree that Jesus refused the first sour wine because it was mixed with gall to relieve pain (Matt. 27:34). But I think the reason He accepted the second time is that it WASN'T mixed with gall (John 19:28-29). He had said He was thirsty, and they simply gave vinegar or sour wine Him to drink. In John, it doesn't say it had gall. This fulfilled Ps. 69:21. | ||||||
