Light for My Path Daily Devotion-  Words from the Cross

Bible Reading

After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.”  A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth.   (John 19:28-29 ESV)

Hymn   ELH 337:1,5  Our Blessed Savior Seven Times Spoke

Our blessed Savior seven times spoke
When on the cross our sins He took
And died lest we should perish.
Let us His last and dying words
In our remembrance cherish.

The Savior’s fourth word was “I thirst.”
O mighty Prince of Life, Thy thirst
For us and our salvation
Is truly great; do help us, then,
That we escape damnation.

Prayer

Jesus, my Savior, help me, by faith, to thirst for Your Word and sacraments.  Amen.
