It was most fitting that every word of our Lord upon the cross should be gathered up and preserved. The Redeemer's cry of "I thirst" is a solemn lesson of patience to his afflicted. Now Christ standing in the stead of the ungodly suffers thirst as a type of his enduring the result of sin. What if the bread be dry, what if the medicine be nauseous; yet for his thirst there was no relief but gall and vinegar, and dare we complain?

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. See how man at his best mingles admiration of the Saviour's person with scorn of his claims; writing books to hold him up as an example and at the same moment rejecting his deity; admitting that he was a wonderful man, but denying his most sacred mission; extolling his ethical teaching and then trampling on his blood: thus giving him drink, but that drink vinegar.

Our Lord Jesus came forth, willing to be exposed to their scorn. Hail, everlasting King in heaven, thou dost admit to thy paradise whomsoever thou wilt! Let me add, that when we look at the sufferings of Christ, we ought to sorrow deeply for the souls of all unregenerate men and women. No, no; we must not make a cross of our own. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Will ye raise a clamor of tumultuous shouting? I have now a third picture to present to you CHRIST AND HIS MOURNERS. "Women, behold thy son!" Those pictures which represent our Lord as wearing the crown of thorns upon the tree have therefore at least some scriptural warrant.

The conquest of the appetites, the entire subjugation of the flesh, must be achieved, for before our great Exemplar said, "It is finished," wherein methinks he reached the greatest height of all, he stood as only upon the next lower step to that elevation, and said, "I thirst." 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. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe. Thirst is no royal grief, but an evil of universal manhood; Jesus is brother to the poorest and most humble of our race. But my Prince is hated without a cause. Will your Prince be decorated with honors? O brother, if he says, "I thirst" and you bring him a lukewarm heart, that is worse than vinegar, for he has said, "I will spue thee out of my mouth."

This is unfortunate, since his works contain priceless gems of information that are found nowhere except in the ancient writings of the Jews.

There is one way by which you can tell whether he carried your sin or not. away with him." 1 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. Beloved, let us thirst for the souls of our fellow-men. Among other things methinks he meant this "If I, the innocent substitute for sinners, suffer thus, what will be done when the sinner himself the dry tree whose sins are his own, and not merely imputed to him, shall fall into the hands of an angry God." I pray you, lend your ears to such faint words as I can utter on a subject all too high for me, the march of the world's Maker along the way of his great sorrow; your Redeemer traversing the rugged path of suffering, along which he went with heaving heart and heavy footsteps, that he might pave a royal road of mercy for his enemies. Universal manhood, left to itself, rejects, crucifies, and mocks the Christ of God. We see in Simon's carrying the cross a picture of what the Church is to do throughout all generations. The lictors executed their cruel office upon his shoulders with their rods and scourges, until the stripes had reached the full number.

Coming fresh from the country, not knowing what was going on, he joined with the mob, and they made him carry the cross. This hint only. Romish expositors, who draw upon their prolific fancy for their facts, tell us that he had a rope about his neck with which they roughly dragged him to the tree; this is one of the most probable of their surmises, since it was not unusual for the Romans thus to conduct criminals to the gallows. He thirsts to bless you and to receive your grateful love in return; he thirsts to see you looking with believing eye to his fulness, and holding out your emptiness that he may supply it. He bears a cross, not that you may escape it, but that you may endure it. John 19:28 . So were the streets of Jerusalem; for great multitudes followed him. What joy, what satisfaotion this will give if we can sing, "My soul looks back to see The burden thou didst bear, When hastening to the accursed tree, And knows her guilt was there!". There have been times, and the days may come again, when faithfulness to Christ has entailed exclusion from what is called "society." The woes which broke the Savior's heart must crush theirs. What a cataract of immortal souls dashes downwards to the pit every hour! 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? 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."

Weep not for him, but for these. Such a greeting had the Lord of glory, but alas, it was not the shout of welcome, but the yell of "Away with him! May the Holy Ghost work in you the complete pattern of Christ crucified, and to him shall be praise for ever and ever. How they led him forth we do not know. Thirst is a common-place misery, such as may happen to peasants or beggars; it is a real pain, and not a thing of a fancy or a nightmare of dreamland. 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. Are you so frozen at heart that not a cup of cold water can be melted for Jesus? (1-4) Pilate hopes to satisfy the mob by having Jesus whipped and mocked. What learn we here as we see Christ led forth? Who among us would not willingly pour out his soul unto death if he might but give refreshment to the Lord? Cheerfully accept this burden, ye servants of the Lord. These are silken days, and religion fights not so stern a battle. "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. 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. Conservative, but not too much depth. You have, then, no true sympathy for Christ if you have not an earnest sympathy with those who would win souls for Christ. 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. Hast thou laid thy hand upon his head, confessed thy sin, and trusted in him? 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. What but for the juice of the vine that he might be refreshed? We are to reckon upon all this, and should the worst befal us, it is to be no strange thing to us. 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. As for yourselves, thirst after perfection. Christ must die a felon's death, and it must be upon the felon's gallows, in the place where horrid crimes had met their due reward. Our first parents plucked forbidden fruit, and by eating slew the race. You have been ill, and you have been parched with fever as he was, and then you too have gasped out "I thirst." As these seven sayings were so faithfully recorded, we do not wonder that they have frequently been the subject of devout meditation. How great the love which led him to such a condescension as this! I am glad the world expects much from us, and watches us narrowly. Christians, will you refuse to be cross-bearers for Christ? Let patience have her perfect work.

Alas, my brethren, I cannot say much on the score of man's cruelty to our Lord without touching myself and you. 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. I know he loves to receive from you, because he delights even in a cup of cold water that you give to one of his disciples; how much more will he delight in the giving of your whole self to him?

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."

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! Today! The cup of which thou art made to drink, though it be very bitter, bears the mark of his lips about its brim. Oh! 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!

Barrabas may go free; the thief and the murderer may be spared; but for Christ there is no word, but "Away with such a fellow from the earth!

Great and worshipful being that he is, truth is to be altered for him, the gospel is to be modulated to suit the tone of his various generations, and all the arrangements of the universe are to be rendered subservient to his interests. The Church, the bride of Christ, was there conformed to the image of her Lord; she was there, I say, in Simon, bearing the cross, and in the women weeping and lamenting. 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. ye unregenerate men and women, and there are not a few such here now, remember that when God saw Christ in the sinner's place he did not spare him, and when he finds you without Christ, he will not spare you.
