I Thirst

Christ and Him crucified!
The Lord Jesus Christ uttered 7 statements from the cross. Three were spoken in the daylight . . . the last four were in darkness. After three hours of darkness, in which God the Father had forsaken Him, He cried: "I thirst."
In this cry is summed up the holiness of God, the sinfulness of man, the horrors of hell, the cry of the damned, and . . . the cry of God's people in this present evil world; this dry and thirsty place. "I Thirst!"
