DEATH OF CHRIST JOHN 19:28-30
A bow was there, full of cheap wine; so a sponge was soaked in the wine, put on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted up to his lips. Jesus drank the wine and said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and died.
“I am thirsty” thirsty for love of
humanity, thirsty to save humanity, thirsty for souls astray, thirsty for
conversion wickedness and evil to goodness, thirsty because his last meal was
the last super with his disciples where he ate and drank. That is if the meal
was eaten with joy recollecting the bad news of his betrayal by someone closed
to him, a disciple chosen by Him.
"It is finished!” how often has the Lord
mentioned that His time has not come.
Now having accomplished His mission he proclaimed that “it is
finished”. How often do we read this passage
of our redemption and our eyes are clouded with tears? “He bowed His Sacred Head and Died”.
