Seven Final Sayings of Jesus: #5 'Suffering'
[Makeover]

Jesus said, “I am thirsty!” John 19:28
There is a kind of timelessness hanging on a cross. It is not a quiet death, over in an instant in one glorious moment of martyrdom like being torn apart by lions. He hasn’t had anything to drink since the Last Supper. Since then he has lost a lot of fluid as he sweated in the Garden and was beaten and whipped. He hung on the cross in the midday heat.
Here is God himself with desperate human need, suffering for water. Everybody is dying for a drink. None of us can survive without it. Our bodies are mainly made of water and without it we shrivel up and cease to be. Our life runs dry. But water is not the only thing that brings us life.
Each of us is thirsty for something more, something else, refreshment to transcend our physical needs, to sustain us way down deep inside. We thirst for certainty. We thirst for assurance. We thirst for meaning and significance. We thirst for peace and contentment. Our hearts are hot and dry and sometimes grow so parched we think we can no longer stand the pain. Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, he had said.
But now even this spring of life is drying up. After hearing this fifth word, you can never say that God is impervious to human suffering, unconcerned with human pain, too big to be bothered by human need. He is divine enough to forgive and human enough to be thirsty. Sweating, struggling to breathe, bent over and bleeding. Thirstier than he has ever been-- We are all dying of thirst—whether we admit or not, we are desperate for God, who we need is God—our deepest need for fellowship with him.
Here at the cross are no answers, no easy speeches, no quick solution. But here is One who has opened the way to the waters of healing.
Pastor Jeannette Conver

Home loans are lending vehicles designed to help people purchase and/or improve real estate. There are a variety home loan options available to consumers, depending on their personal needs and circumstances.
Actual mortgage rates can depend on the vehicle selected and the personal credit standing of the borrower. Figuring out which home loans make the most sense will depend on whether a borrower is looking to purchase new or is considering mortgage refinancing.
