Bible Question: WHat do you think the key words mean I Thirst |
Bible Answer: Greetings! Although this prophecy was fulfilled at Calvary(John 19:28-30), Jesus, in death, provided the model for us to follow which found in couple of other scriptures: My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? Psalm 42: 2 O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 What I understand from these additional verses is that the TRUE thirst we must recognize is for God. Secondly, we must recognize the inability of man to quench the thirst for the Divine. Yet, how often does mankind attempt to do just that! From the first encounter with evil in the Garden of Eden, some confuse their desire for God with the lie that they can become like Him! (Gen 3:5) Jesus said, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink." John 7:37 ". . .whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." John 4:14 May God bless your day as you consider these great Truths from God's Word! mommapbs |
