See, brethren, where sin begins, and mark that there it ends. Rutherford says, "Whenever Christ gives us a cross, he cries, 'Halves, my love.'"

Although Simon carried Christ's cross, he did not volunteer to do it, but they compelled him. Nay more; he is banished from their society, as if he were a leper whose breath would be infectious whose presence would scatter plague.

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.

I think, beloved friends, that the cry of "I thirst" was THE MYSTICAL EXPRESSION OF THE DESIRE OF HIS HEART "I thirst." 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.

Oh, wondrous substitution of the just for the unjust, of God for man, of the perfect Christ for us guilty, hell-deserving rebels. It seems to me very wonderful that this "I thirst" should be, as it were, the clearance of it all. How near akin the thirsty Saviour is to us; let us love him more and more. We ought not to forget the Jews. Whether a disciple then or not, we have every reason to believe that he became so afterwards; he was the father, we read, of Alexander and Rufus, two persons who appear to have been well known in the early Church; let us hope that salvation came to his house when he was compelled to bear the Savior's cross.

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. Nor does the grief end here, for have not the best works we have ever done, and the best feelings we ever felt, and the best prayers we have ever offered, been tart and sour with sin? Hail, everlasting King in heaven, thou dost admit to thy paradise whomsoever thou wilt! Among other things methinks he meant this "If I, the innocent substitute for sinners, suffer thus, what will be done when the sinner himself the dry tree whose sins are his own, and not merely imputed to him, shall fall into the hands of an angry God."

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." Christ does exempt you from sin, but not from sorrow; he does take the curse of the cross, but he does not take the cross of the curse away from you. And they asked him, What then? It is so with each one of you? 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. Next time your fevered lips murmur "I am very thirsty," you may say to yourself, "Those are sacred words, for my Lord spake in that fashion." 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. To-day I invite your attention to another Prince, marching in another fashion through his metropolis. No blood but that which He has spilt, no groans but those which came from His heart, no suffering but that which was endured by Him, can ever make a recompense for sin. While thus we admire his condescension let our thoughts also turn with delight to his sure sympathy: for if Jesus said, "I thirst," then he knows all our frailties and woes. What a cataract of immortal souls dashes downwards to the pit every hour! Today! Hark how their loud voices demand that he should be hastened to execution! London shall see the glory of the one: Jerusalem beheld the shame of the other. I have sometimes met with persons who have suffered much; they have lost money, they have worked hard all their lives, or they have laid for years upon a bed of sickness, and they therefore suppose that because they have suffered so much in this life, they shall thus escape the punishment of sin hereafter. I have shown you, believer, your position; let me now show you your service.

There are more unlikely things than that you will be dead before next Sunday. Let the sympathy of Christ, then, be fully believed in and deeply appreciated, since he said, "I thirst." Our Lord, however, endured thirst to an extreme degree, for it was the thirst of death which was upon him, and more, it was the thirst of one whose death was not a common one, for "he tasted death for every man." "I thirst, but not as once I did, The vain delights of earth to share; Thy wounds, Emmanuel, all forbid That I should seek my pleasures there. Then they said, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

See, brethren, here is a picture of what we may expect from men if we are faithful to our Master. Metaphorically understood, thirst is dissatisfaction, the craving of the mind for something which it has not, but which it pines for. There can be no shadow of doubt but that our Lord was really crucified, and no one substituted for him.

Behold, my King is not without his crown alas, a crown of thorns set with ruby drops of blood!

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. The Church, the bride of Christ, was there conformed to the image of her Lord; she was there, I say, in Simon, bearing the cross, and in the women weeping and lamenting. If not, may that picture of Christ fainting in the streets lead you to do so this morning. 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."

Then thy sin lies not on thee; not one single ounce or drachma of it lies on thee; it has all been transferred by blessed imputation to Christ, and he bears it on his shoulder in the form of yonder heavy cross. "I thirst" is the fifth cry, and its utterance teaches us the truth of Scripture, for all things were accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, and therefore our Lord said, "I thirst." The sharpness of that sentence no exposition can fully disclose to us: it is keen as the very edge and point of the sword which pierced his heart. We shall by the assistance of the Holy Spirit try to regard these words of our Saviour in a five-fold light. They take matters very gently; they think it unnecessary to be soldiers of the cross. Our Lord says, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink," that thirst being the result of sin in every ungodly man at this moment.

We care, however, far more for the fact that he went forth carrying his cross upon his shoulders. II. This was the act too of man at his best, when he is moved to pity; for it seems clear that he who lifted up the wet sponge to the Redeemer's lips, did it in compassion. 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." John 18:19-40 - Glory on Trial A. In the former cry, as he opened Paradise, you saw the Son of God; now you see him who was verily and truly born of a women, made under the law; and under the law you see him still, for he honours his mother and cares for her in the last article of death. He pitied the sufferer, but he thought so little of him that he joined in the voice of scorn. Was not the Redeemer led thither to aggravate his shame? By contrast, the Christian faith is built on the . Sit at his feet with Mary, lean on his breast with John; yea, come with the spouse in the song and say, "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for his love is better than wine." 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. What doth he say? 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. Go ye, then, like the Master, expecting to be abused, to wear an ill-name, and to earn reproach; go ye, like him, without the camp. A second mode of treating these seven cries is to view them as setting forth the person and offices of our Lord who uttered them. Mark then, Christian, Jesus does not suffer so as to exclude your suffering. They place the cross upon Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country. But power is wanted to dash down those idols, to overcome the hosts of error; where is it to be found? After our Lord Jesus Christ had been formally condemned by Pilate, our text tells us he was led away. Conservative, but not too much depth. "He that taketh not up his cross and followeth not after me," says Christ, "is not worthy of me." He would have sacrificed himself to save his countrymen, so heartily did he desire their eternal welfare. He did not spare his Son the stripes. We ought all to have a longing for conversions. (6) John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the sour wine, He said, " It is finished! The world has in former days counted it God's service to kill the saints. ", When a brother makes confession of his transgressions, when on his knees before God he humbles himself with many tears, I am sure the Lord thinks far more of the tears of repentance than he would do of the mere drops of human sympathy. The lictors executed their cruel office upon his shoulders with their rods and scourges, until the stripes had reached the full number. Includes cross references, questions, verse by verse commentary, outline, and applications on John chapter 19 for small groups. 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. He cried, ere he bowed the head which he had held erect amid all his conflict, as one who never yielded, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit."

Do not let us forget the infinite distance between the Lord of glory on his throne and the Crucified dried up with thirst. May we not despise our loaded table while he is neglected? Christians, will you refuse to be cross-bearers for Christ? Nor is this all. They prefer a ceremonial pompous and gaudy; the swell of music, the glitter of costly garments, the parade of learning all these must minister grandeur to the world's religion, and thus shut out the simple followers of the Lamb.
