Misty Creek Community Church Sermon, 3/28/2020: Resurrection Stories Part 5: “I Thirst.”
John 19:28-29
God is always looking for people of faith and generosity. How will you respond during this state of emergency? Will you lean into God and trust Him? God is in control. He is sovereign and He has always been sovereign.
Rather than hoarding will you reach out and help others? Will you be a voice of encouragement? Will you remember the elderly, singles, and the homeless? How about the high school or college senior? The couple expecting their first child? Homeless needs are going to go up. Restaurant wait staffs and musicians are going to struggle to survive.
A lot of folks are saying, “God is testing us and the church”. That’s been the primary message I’ve heard from some very prominent speakers.Whether that’s true of not, I do believe God rewards the faithful and that He is absolutely in control.
The world hungers and thirsts for righteousness. What do you thirst for? Do you thirst for human interaction? Do you thirst to go someplace? Do you thirst for your friends? Do you thirst for happiness? Have you ever been literally thirsty?
How does it make you feel to know that your Savior thirsted?
“I Thirst.” This is such a simple statement compared to the other dramatic statements that Jesus made from the cross (Father forgive, paradise, mother behold, My God). Yet, I believe that this statement recorded by John alone has a deeper meaning than you might expect.
