Friday

28: Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”

Saturday

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 

19: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20

Remember that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ accepted the wine vinegar that was offered to Him. Note that the sour wine vinegar was offered on a hyssop branch which means that our efforts to reach out to others with our little faith, little knowledge and little understanding of God’s words are blessed and purified by our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

On the Cross of Calvary Christ “thirsted” to bring saving grace to all people. 

What a privilege it is to take part in God’s restorative plan of redemption for all humanity.
