No longer sink below the brim; But overflow, and pour me down A living and life-giving stream.". Jesus was proved to be really man, because he suffered the pains which belong to manhood. Then they said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with their hands. He goes forth, then, bearing his cross. Some of those whom we loved very dearly we have seen quite unable to help themselves; the death sweat has been upon them, and this has been one of the marks of their approaching dissolution, that they have been parched with thirst, and could only mutter between their half-closed lips, "Give me to drink." Spurgeon's Bible Commentary John 19 John 19:1-16 John 19:1. 1 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. Let each of us say "Tis all my business here below To cry, Behold the Lamb!" John 1:30-31. 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. ( John 19:1-4) Pilate hopes to satisfy the mob by having Jesus whipped and mocked. II. He pitied the sufferer, but he thought so little of him that he joined in the voice of scorn. He loved the Gentile, but still Jerusalem was the city of the Great King. You have been ill, and you have been parched with fever as he was, and then you too have gasped out "I thirst." The sinful find our conversation distasteful; in our pursuits the carnal have no interest; things dear to us are dross to worldlings, while things precious to them are contemptible to us. Our Lord felt that grievous drought of dissolution by which all moisture seems dried up, and the flesh returns to the dust of death: this those know who have commenced to tread the valley of the shadow of death. I fear me, beloved, I fear me that the most of us if we ever do carry it, carry it by compulsion, at least when it first comes on to our shoulders we do not like it, and would fain run from it, but the world compels us to bear Christ's cross. Always was he in harmony with himself, and his own body was always expressive of his soul's cravings as well as of its own longings. He calls for that: will you not give it to him? "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" is the first. All this is a blessed clog upon us, and a means of keeping us more near the Lord. Complain not, then. "Weep for yourselves," says Christ, "rather than for me." Beeke, Joel R. & Thompson, Nick. They put on him his own clothes that the multitudes might discern him to be the same man, the very man who had professed to be the Messias. He hath traversed the mournful way before thee, and every footprint thou leavest in the sodden soil is stamped side by side with his footmarks. Let us exult as we see our Substitute going through with his work even to the bitter end, and then with a "Consummatum est" returning to his Father, God. V. Lastly, the cry of "I thirst" is to us THE PATTERN OF OUR DEATH WITH HIM. As for yourselves, thirst after perfection. My heart shall not be content till he is all in all to me, and I am altogether lost in him. away with him." They take matters very gently; they think it unnecessary to be soldiers of the cross. Scripture provides a wealth . Grant me only thus much of likeness: we have here a Prince with his bride, bearing his banner, and wearing his royal robes, traversing the streets of his own city, surrounded by a throng who shout aloud, and a multitude who gaze with interest profound. 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. Yet most people today have never heard of John Gill. John, the gospel of faith by Harrison, Everett Falconer, 1902- from Everyman's Bible Commentary series. For a biblical, reformed, and historic collection of commentaries, the Geneva Series is unsurpassed. Hark how their loud voices demand that he should be hastened to execution! 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? Acts 19 Acts 19 He preached in the same church as C. H. Spurgeon over one hundred years earlier. Lloyd-Jones opens John 19:31-37 to answer that very question. He would have sacrificed himself to save his countrymen, so heartily did he desire their eternal welfare. Hail, ye despised children of the sun, ye follow first after the King in the march of woe. How has it been with you? He must love, it is his nature. He had been all night in agony, he had spent the early morning at the hall of Caiaphas, he had been hurried, as I described to you last Sunday, from Caiaphas to Pilate, from Pilate to Herod, and from Herod back again to Pilate; he had, therefore, but little strength left, and you will not wonder that by-and-bye we find him staggering beneath his load, and that another is called to bear it with him. 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. And yet again in the eighth chapter the bride saith, "I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate." Our text is the shortest of all the words of Calvary; it stands as two words in our language "I thirst," but in the Greek it is only one. Yonder young Prince is ruddy with the bloom of early youth and health; my Master's visage is more marred than that of any man. I do not think we should seek after needless persecution. "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." John 19:30. He is exiled from their friendship, too. "To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise." Who among us would not willingly pour out his soul unto death if he might but give refreshment to the Lord? 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." Remember, dear friends, that what Christ suffered for us, these unregenerate ones must suffer for themselves, except they put their trust in Christ. Of the many benefits we have in learning from Paul, a few stand out:1. In the fourth place, one or two words upon CHRIST'S FELLOW-SUFFERERS. He ran and filled a sponge with vinegar: it was the best way he knew of putting a few drops of moisture to the lips of one who was suffering so much; but though he felt a degree of pity, it was such as one might show to a dog; he felt no reverence, but mocked as he relieved. A strong emphasis in Spurgeon's preaching was God's grace and sovereignty over man's helpless state. We see in Simon's carrying the cross a picture of what the Church is to do throughout all generations. III. A phantom, as some have called him, could not suffer in his fashion: but Jesus really suffered, not only the more refined pains of delicate and sensitive minds, but the rougher and commoner pangs of flesh and blood. So he was thirsting then. I have shown you, believer, your position; let me now show you your service. There is one way by which you can tell whether he carried your sin or not. So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. I differ from them greatly, but I will say this, that next to the actual enjoyment of my Lord's presence I love to hunger and to thirst after him. He thirsted for water doubtless, but his soul was thirsty in a higher sense; indeed, he seems only to have spoken that the Scriptures might be fulfilled as to the offering him vinegar. May God deliver you! Commentary on John 19:31-37 (Read John 19:31-37) A trial was made whether Jesus was dead. God forbid! 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. No man dare call him friend now, or whisper a word of comfort to him. There are many other ways in which these words might be read, and they would be found to be all full of instruction. Remember that, and expect to suffer. We ought not to forget the Jews. Cheerfully accept this burden, ye servants of the Lord. IV. Exposition of the Gospel according to John by Hendriksen, William, 1900-1982 (1953) 526 pages 19 ratings ", 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. Amen. All nations gathered about my Lord, both great and mean men clustered around his person. Oh! We gave him our tears and then grieved him with our sins. Next Saturday all eyes will be fixed on a great Prince who shall ride through our streets with his Royal Bride. Mine is adorned with garments crimsoned with his own blood. This hint only. Some of you will not be baptized because you think people will say, "He is a professor; how holy he ought to be." You have, then, no true sympathy for Christ if you have not an earnest sympathy with those who would win souls for Christ. Our Lord is the Maker of the ocean and the waters that are above the firmament: it is his hand that stays or opens the bottles of heaven, and sendeth rain upon the evil and upon the good. If he carried all the cross, yet he only carried the wood of it; he did not bear the sin which made it such a load. Shall it ever be a hardship to be denied the satisfying draught when he said, "I thirst." Certain philosophers have said that they love the pursuit of truth even better than the knowledge of truth. What knocks he for? Once again, as we think of this "I thirst," which proves our Lord's humanity, let us resolve to shun no denials, but rather court them that we may be conformed to his image. wherein we see the Son of man in the gentleness of a son caring for his bereaved mother. Some of these were persons of considerable rank; many of them had ministered to him of their substance; amidst the din and howling of the crowd, and the noise of the soldiery, they raised an exceeding loud and bitter cry, like Rachel weeping for her children, who would not be comforted, because they were not. He is thirsty still, you see, for our poor love, and surely we cannot deny it to him. Today! Even as the hart panteth after the water brooks, our souls would thirst after thee, O God. Let us now gaze for awhile upon CHRIST CARRYING HIS CROSS. 'Tis his cross, and he goes before you as a shepherd goes before his sheep. He must love his chosen whom he has once begun to love, for he is the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever. Rutherford used words somewhat to this effect, "I thirst for my Lord and this is joy; a joy which no man taketh from me. January 1, 1970 A Plain Answer to an Important Enquiry "Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." John vi. Come, bring him your warm heart, and let him drink from that purified chalice as much as he wills. It is said that a German regiment was at that time stationed in Judea, and I should not wonder if they were the lineal ancestors of those German theologians of modern times who have mocked the Savior, tampered with revelation, and cast the vile spittle of their philosophy into the face of truth. April 14th, 1878 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892). Charles Haddon Spurgeon December 1, 1861 Scripture: John 19:30 From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Volume 7 It is Finished! Jesus paused, and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me; but weep for yourselves and for your children." This is what the Apostle meant when he said, "I fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the Church." As he commends his spirit into the Father's hand, so does he bring all believers nigh to God, and henceforth we are in the hand of the Father, who is greater than all, and none shall pluck us thence. Glorious stoop of our exalted Head! Well, beloved, the cross we have to carry is only for a little while at most. Holy Scripture remains the basis of our faith, established by every word and act of our Redeemer. Those once highly favored people of God who cursed themselves with, "His blood be upon us and upon our children," ought to make us mourn when we think of their present degradation. Let all your love be his. Do you not remember how that thirst of his was strong in the old days of the prophet? "Verily I say unto thee, to-day shalt thou be with me in paradise" this is the Lord Jesus in kingly power, opening with the key of David a door which none can shut, admitting into the gates of heaven the poor soul who had confessed him on the tree. Shall carnal appetites be indulged and bodies pampered when Jesus cried :I thirst"? III. They force him without the walls, and are not satisfied till they have rid themselves of his obnoxious presence. We are to reckon upon all this, and should the worst befal us, it is to be no strange thing to us. 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." The great Surety says, "I thirst," because he is placed in the sinner's stead, and he must therefore undergo the penalty of sin for the ungodly. Bearing upon his back the sin of all his people, the offering goes without the camp. It is calculated that one soul passes from time into eternity every time the clock ticks! Think, dear friends, there are some in this congregation who as yet have no interest in Jesu's blood, some sitting next to you, your nearest friends who, if they were now to close their eyes in death, would open them in hell! But my Prince is hated without a cause. Even if I may not come at him, yet shall I be full of consolation, for it is heaven to thirst after him, and surely he will never deny a poor soul liberty to admire him, and adore him, and thirst after him." That is very possible; Christ may have carried the heavier end, against the transverse beam, and Simon may have borne the lighter end. He wants you brother, he wants you, dear sister, he longs to have you wholly to himself. 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." That man is a fool and deserves no pity, who purposely excites the disgust of other people. It is done. There were, as you know, seven of those last words, and seven is the number of perfection and fulness; the number which blends the three of the infinite God with the four of complete creation. 29. The sufferings of Christ should make us weep over those who have brought that blood upon their heads. Yet most people today have never heard of John Gill. It is not fit that he should live." It is not likely that we shall be able to worship with their worship. For several Sabbath mornings my mind has been directed into subjects which I might fitly call the deep things of God. O thou blessed Master, if we are indeed nailed up to the tree with thee, give us a thirst after thee with a thirst which only the cup of "the new covenant in thy blood" can ever satisfy. Usually the crier went before with an announcement such as this, "This is Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, who for making himself a King, and stirring up the people, has been condemned to die." Jesus is formally condemned to crucifixion, but before he is led away he is given over to the Praetorian guards that those rough legionaries may insult him. Are you so frozen at heart that not a cup of cold water can be melted for Jesus? As not a bone of him shall be broken, so not a word shall be lost. You are not, therefore, so poor as he. We are not sure that Simon was a disciple of Christ; he may have been a friendly spectator; yet one would think the Jews would naturally select a disciple if they could. Simon was an African; he came from Cyrene. I have now a third picture to present to you CHRIST AND HIS MOURNERS. High in the air ye bid your banners wave about the heir of England's throne, but how shall ye rival the banner of the sacred cross, that day for the first time borne among the sons of men. But such is not the truthful estimate of man according to the Scriptures: there man is a fallen creature, with a carnal mind which cannot be reconciled to God; a worse than brutish creature, rendering evil for good, and treating his God with vile ingratitude. 1089 - The Man Greatly Beloved . 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. One word: transformation. Oh! Neither in torture of body nor in sadness of heart are we deserted by our Lord; his line is parallel with ours. He believed, as a Roman in gods many. Shall the servant be above his Master, or the disciple above his Lord? Christians, will you refuse to be cross-bearers for Christ? 1. Our Lord Jesus came forth, willing to be exposed to their scorn. If not, may that picture of Christ fainting in the streets lead you to do so this morning. Our glorious Samson had been fighting our foes; heaps upon heaps he had slain his thousands, and now like Samson he was sore athirst. He thirsted to pluck us from between the jaws of hell, to pay our redemption price, and set us free from the eternal condemnation which hung over us; and when on the cross the work was almost done his thirst was not assuaged, and could not be till he could say, "It is finished." Did we not do so years ago before we knew him? Dear friend, if you think that you suffer all that a Christian can suffer; if all God's billows roll over you, yet, remember, there is not one drop of wrath in all your sea of sorrow. Spurgeon left this earth for his heavenly hope in 1892. His great love makes him thirst to have us much nearer than we are; he will never be satisfied till all his redeemed are beyond gunshot of thee enemy. A Christian living to indulge the base appetites of a brute beast, to eat and to drink almost to gluttony and drunkenness, is utterly unworthy of the name. It is the way whereby many shall be brought to Christ, when this blessed soul-thirst of true Christian charity shall be upon those who are themselves saved. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was born in Essex, England. Now, I am not sure that we ought to blame ourselves for this. 19:1-18 Little did Pilate think with what holy regard these sufferings of Christ would, in after-ages, be thought upon and spoken of by the best and greatest of men. I tell you, sirs, that yonder malefactor carried his cross and died on it; and you will carry your sorrows, and be damned with them, except you repent. Partner with StudyLight.org as God uses us to make a difference for those displaced by Russia's war on Ukraine. And yet, though he was Lord of all he had so fully taken upon himself the form of a servant and was so perfectly made in the likeness of sinful flesh, that he cried with fainting voice, "I thirst." No sufferings of ours have anything to do with the atonement of sin. According to modern thought man is a very fine and noble creature, struggling to become better. How they led him forth we do not know. "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." "And he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes," vinegar, and not wine; sourness, and not sweetness. But further, my brethren; this, I think, is the great lesson from Christ's being slaughtered without the gate of the city let us go forth, therefore, without the camp, bearing his reproach. Alas, man is the slave and the dupe of Satan, and a black-hearted traitor to his God. Oh! We all know that a different dress will often raise a doubt about the identity of an individual; but lo! are they not more like sharp vinegar? They put his own clothes upon him, because they were the perquisites of the executioner, as modern hangmen take the garments of those whom they execute, so did the four soldiers claim a right to his raiment. I believe there was a tenderness in Christ's heart to the Jew of a special character. Volume 19, Sermons 1089-1149 (1873) Hide. Oh! This was intended at once to proclaim his guilt and intimate his doom. John 19:3. The next time we are in pain or are suffering depression of spirit we will remember that our Lord understands it all, for he has had practical, personal experience of it. Jesus took the wrath; Jesus carried the sin; and now all that you endure is but for his sake, that you may be conformed unto his image, and may aid in gathering his people into his family. He who stood in our stead has finished all his work, and now his spirit comes back to the Father, and he brings us with him. Romanists pretend to know; in fact they know the very spot where Veronica wiped the blessed face with her handkerchief, and found his likeness impressed upon it; we also know very well where that was not done; in fact they know the very spot where Jesus fainted, and if you go to Jerusalem you can see all these different places if you only carry enough credulity with you; but the fact is the city has been so razed, and burned, and ploughed, that there is little chance of distinguishing any of these positions, with the exception, it may be, of Mount Calvary, which being outside the walls may possibly still remain. Have you prayed for your fellow men? He is not allowed to worship with them. Here is the forgiveness of sin free forgiveness in answer to the Saviour's plea. Let me show what I think he meant. Is not this a fertile field of thought? I invite your attention to CHRIST AS LED FORTH. We used to melt when we heard about his sufferings, but we did not turn from our sins. What whips of steel for you, what knots of burning wire for you, when conscience shall smite you, when the law shall scourge you with its ten-thonged whip! Ah, that I cannot tell, except his own great love. Beloved, let us comfort ourselves with this thought, that in our case, as in Simon's, it is not our cross, but Christ's cross which we carry. Even when man compassionates the sufferings of Christ, and man would have ceased to be human if he did not, still he scorns him; the very cup which man gives to Jesus is at once scorn and pity, for "the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel." Pilate, as we reminded you, scourged our Savior according to the common custom of Roman courts. In fact, the tendency is to exalt man above God and give him the highest place. crucify him!" I cannot say that it is short and sweet, for, alas, it was bitterness itself to our Lord Jesus; and yet out of its bitterness I trust there will come great sweetness to us. There have been times, and the days may come again, when faithfulness to Christ has entailed exclusion from what is called "society." Secondly, we shall regard these words, "I thirst," as THE TOKEN OF HIS SUFFERING SUBSTITUTION. 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. John and Herod 1549 - Good News for Thirsty Souls 1550 - The Unspeakable Gift 1551 - Today! IV. Did he not tell his disciples, "I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it be accomplished?" Will ye raise a clamor of tumultuous shouting? A carnal appetite of the body, the satisfaction of the desire for food, first brought us down under the first Adam, and now the pang of thirst, the denial of what the body craved for, restores us to our place. I invite you to meditate upon the true humanity of our Lord very reverently, and very lovingly. It is almost done, thou Christ of God; thou hast almost saved thy people; there remaineth but one thing more, that thou shouldst actually die, and hence thy strong desire to come to the end and complete thy labour. "I thirst," ay, this is my soul's word with her Lord. What a cataract of immortal souls dashes downwards to the pit every hour! Our sinful tongues, blistered by the fever of passion, must have burned for ever had not his tongue been tormented with thirst in our stead. There was nothing behind in the price, but there is something behind in the manifested power, and we must continue to fill up that measure of revealed power, carrying each one of us the cross with Christ, till the last shame shall have been poured upon his cause, and he shall reign for ever and ever. It was, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how often would I have gathered thy children together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but ye would not!" A few times the sun will go up and down the hill; a few more moons will wax and wane, and then we shall receive the glory. But what shall be your cry when you shall say, "Good God! "His way was much rougher and darker than mine; Did Christ, my Lord, suffer, and shall I repine?". 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. "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" here we see the Mediator interceding: Jesus standing before the Father pleading for the guilty. 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." 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. what a black thought crosses our mind! When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. John 1 19-51 Spurgeon's Bible Commentary John 1:19-51 John 1:19. When you are molested for your piety; when your religion brings the trial of cruel mockings upon you; then remember, it is not your cross, it is Christ's cross; and how delightful is it to carry the cross of our Lord Jesus? " And He bowed His head, and gave up His spirit. 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. Shake off the thought, any of you who suppose that God will have pity on you because you have endured affliction. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe. I cannot give you more than a mere taste of this rich subject, but I have been most struck with two ways of regarding our Lord's last words. The mind of man is like the daughters of the horseleech, which cry for ever, "Give, give." 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.
