Matthew 27:48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
John 19:28-29 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. (29) Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
Our sin was bitter and the wine was sour. GRACE is sweet. Now we are salt...
Our LORD did not seek to quench his thirst until ‘all things’ were accomplished. HE fulfilled Psalm 22:15 and Psalm 69:21. The Roman soldiers offer HIM what they normally drank as soldiers. It was vinegar – it was really a sour wine. They placed it on sponge with a sweet smelling herb called hyssop. HE sipped wine just before saying “It is finished”. Reconciliation accomplished…
Thank YOU JESUS!!!
CHRIST-likeness is an all in sacrificial lifestyle. We should quench our thirst after we accomplish what GOD has sent us to do…
Our sin was bitter and the wine was sour. GRACE is sweet. Now we are salt...
I love YOU and I love you
