A friend who will be sharing on the 5th Last Word of Jesus Christ asked for my input. Here is part of it.
Promise, no politics this time.
Let's talk about the ONE WHOSE love for you and me is beyond compare--very much unlike most of our crop of politicians. A heart that loves bleeds easily; a HEART that loves unconditinally bleeds profusely.
Imagine Jesus Christ whose love for us is beyond measure and eternal. Imagine Him saying: "I AM THIRSTY". We can be sure that He is thirsty not only for water-- He is thirsty for your response to His Love. While hanging on the cross, Christ was thirsty for the love and loyalty of those among the crowd who betrayed Him. And now, Christ remains thirsty for our love.
(Give examples of how people have turned their back to Christ making Him crave for their attention and thirsty for their affection)
Christ thirsts not for Himself; He thirsts because He knows that we cannot find happiness where we are looking for it--pleasure, money,power. He thirst for the happiness He wants to give but which the people reject. Parents among you know very well that when out kids rebel and go wrong, we suffer not for ourselves; we suffer for our kids. Just like, Jesus Chris. He suffers from hunger & thirst for us.
How much longer are we going to let Jesus remain thirsty?
