I am thirsty

“I am thirsty”

Lord Jesus, at the start of your ministry you hungered in the desert and yet you were able

to resist the devil’s temptations through knowing the truth of the scriptures.

Now as your ministry in human form comes to its end -

its cruel end on a cross - you are thirsty.

But even now with the end so close, you have opened our eyes to see your humanity and your

divinity. What man would not cry out for the pain numbing mixture of wine and myrrh that the

soldiers offer you, yet which barely touches your lips?

But your declaration of thirst reveals to us once again your divinity as you fulfill scripture.
