Godly working-men, should your employers or your fellow-workers frown upon you; wives, should your husbands threaten to cast you out, remember, without the camp was Jesus' place, and without the camp is yours. And said, Hail, King of the Jews!_ Yonder young Prince is ruddy with the bloom of early youth and health; my Master's visage is more marred than that of any man. Yet, dear friends, to some eyes there will be more attraction in the procession of sorrow, of shame, and of blood, than in you display of grandeur and joy. He is thirsty still, you see, for our poor love, and surely we cannot deny it to him. The arrow which has lately pierced thee, my brother, was first stained with his blood. You are not, therefore, so poor as he. There are more unlikely things than that you will be dead before next Sunday. How great the love which led him to such a condescension as this! I cannot think that natural thirst was all he felt. These are silken days, and religion fights not so stern a battle. Henceforth, also, let us cultivate the spirit of resignation, for we may well rejoice to carry a cross which his shoulders have borne before us. It is the opinion of some commentators that Simon only carried one end of the cross, and not the whole of it. When they had mocked him they pulled off the purple garment he had worn, this rough operation would cause much pain. He wants you brother, he wants you, dear sister, he longs to have you wholly to himself. I believe there was a tenderness in Christ's heart to the Jew of a special character. 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. It is the empty cup placed under the flowing stream; the penniless hand held out for heavenly alms." . You see there the multitude are leading him forth from the temple. He sipped of the vinegar, and he was refreshed, and no sooner has he thrown off the thirst than he shouted like a conqueror, "It is finished," and quitted the field, covered with renown. 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. Our Lord felt that grievous drought of dissolution by which all moisture seems dried up, and the flesh returns to the dust of death: this those know who have commenced to tread the valley of the shadow of death. A strong emphasis in Spurgeon's preaching was God's grace and sovereignty over man's helpless state. 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. John 19:3. Jesus paused, and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me; but weep for yourselves and for your children." This is what the Apostle meant when he said, "I fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the Church." Thirst is no royal grief, but an evil of universal manhood; Jesus is brother to the poorest and most humble of our race. The "I thirst" was the bearing of the last pang; what if I say it was the expression of the fact that his pangs had at last begun to cease, and their fury had spent itself, and left him able to note his lessor pains? Once again, as we think of this "I thirst," which proves our Lord's humanity, let us resolve to shun no denials, but rather court them that we may be conformed to his image. Yet his language teaches us not to worship her, for he calls her "woman," but to honor him in whom his direst agony thought of her needs and griefs, as he also thinks of all his people, for these are his mother and sister and brother. Amid all the anguish of his spirit his last words prove him to have remained fully self-possessed, true to his forgiving nature, true to his kingly office, true to his filial relationship, true to his God, true to his love of the written word, true to his glorious work, and true to his faith in his Father. Remember that, and expect to suffer. (6) John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the sour wine, He said, " It is finished! Sister, thirst for the salvation of your class, thirst for the redemption of your family, thirst for the conversion of your husband. He knew once how to turn water into wine, and in matchless love he has often turned our sour drink-offerings into something sweet to himself, though in themselves, methinks, they have been the juice of sour grapes, sharp enough to set his teeth on edge. This added to his shame; but, methinks, in this, too, he draws the nearer to us, "He was numbered with the transgressors, and bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors." While thus we admire his condescension let our thoughts also turn with delight to his sure sympathy: for if Jesus said, "I thirst," then he knows all our frailties and woes. Conceal your religion? We thought sometimes that we loved him as we heard the story of his death, but we did not change our lives for his sake, nor put our trust in him, and so we gave him vinegar to drink. John 19:28 . In the Lord of Hosts, who shows his power in the sufferings of Christ and of his Church. In your chamber let the gasp of your Lord as he said, "I thirst," go through your ears, and as you hear it let it touch your heart and cause you to gird up yourself and say, "Doth he say, 'I thirst'? 29. We will now take the text in a third way, and may the Spirit of God instruct us once again. Pilate, as we reminded you, scourged our Savior according to the common custom of Roman courts. We know from experience that the present effect of sin in every man who indulges in it is thirst of soul. Now, I am not sure that we ought to blame ourselves for this. 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." 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. Weep not for him, but for these. He saith, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Our Lord in his death-cries, as in all else, was perfection itself. Angels cannot suffer thirst. My Lord is not altogether without his espoused one. Save your tears for them; Christ asks them not in sympathy for himself. You must consider Jesus, and not yourself; turn your eye to Christ, the great substitute for sinners, but never dream of trusting in yourselves. Jesus, being a man, escaped none of the ills which are allotted to man in death. The world has in former days counted it God's service to kill the saints. A phantom, as some have called him, could not suffer in his fashion: but Jesus really suffered, not only the more refined pains of delicate and sensitive minds, but the rougher and commoner pangs of flesh and blood. But ye ask me where is the spouse, the king's daughter fair and beautiful? 2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, . His wounds unstaunched and raw, fresh bleeding from beneath the lash, would make this scarlet robe adhere to him, and when it was dragged off; his gashes would bleed anew. We may therefore come before him, with all the rest of our race, when God subdues them to repentance by his love, and look on him whom we have pierced, and mourn for him as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

The whole universe shall hiss you; angels shall be ashamed of you; your own friends, yes, your sainted mother, shall say "Amen" to your condemnation; and those who loved you best shall sit as assessors with Christ to judge you and condemn you! Come hither, ye lovers of Immanuel, and I will show you this great sight the King of sorrow marching to his throne of grief, the cross. 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. A few times the sun will go up and down the hill; a few more moons will wax and wane, and then we shall receive the glory. 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. 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! One word: transformation. Christ did but transfer to Simon the outward frame, the mere tree; but the curse of the tree, which was our sin and its punishment, rested on Jesus' shoulders still. IV. .

So he was thirsting then. He came to save, and man denied him hospitality: at the first there was no room for him at the inn, and at the last there was not one cool cup of water for him to drink; but when he thirsted they gave him vinegar to drink. Though Simon had to bear the cross for a very little while, it gave him lasting honor. Sit at his feet with Mary, lean on his breast with John; yea, come with the spouse in the song and say, "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for his love is better than wine." Even as the hart panteth after the water brooks, our souls would thirst after thee, O God. Glorious stoop of our exalted Head! Oh! Who among us would not willingly pour out his soul unto death if he might but give refreshment to the Lord? Simon had to carry the cross but for a very little time, yet his name is in this Book for ever, and we may envy him his honor. Our great hero, the destroyer of Death, bearded the lion in his den, slew the monster in his own castle, and dragged the dragon captive from his own den. (7) Luke 23:46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, INTO THY HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT. That little rising ground, which perhaps was called Golgotha, the place of a skull, from its somewhat resembling the crown of a man's skull, was the common place of execution. When our Lord cried, "Eloi, Eloi," and afterwards said, "I thirst," the persons around the cross said, "Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him," mocking him; and, according to Mark, he who gave the vinegar uttered much the same words. I have touched that point very lightly because I want a little more time to dwell upon a fourth view of this scene. Do not let us forget the infinite distance between the Lord of glory on his throne and the Crucified dried up with thirst. "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" After preaching his first sermon at the age of 16, he became pastor of the church in Waterbeach at the age of 17. You have, then, no true sympathy for Christ if you have not an earnest sympathy with those who would win souls for Christ. John 19:4-5. 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. Have you prayed for your fellow men? My heart shall not be content till he is all in all to me, and I am altogether lost in him. Your heir of royalty is magnificently drawn along the streets in his stately chariot, sitting at his ease: my princely sufferer walks with weary feet, marking the road with crimson drops; not borne, but bearing; not carried, but carrying his cross. 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? Holy Scripture remains the basis of our faith, established by every word and act of our Redeemer. They place the cross upon Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country. Well, then, what means this cry, "I thirst," but this, that we should thirst too? "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. 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." V. Lastly, the cry of "I thirst" is to us THE PATTERN OF OUR DEATH WITH HIM. It is not fit that he should live." If not, may that picture of Christ fainting in the streets lead you to do so this morning. Jesus is therefore hunted out of the city, beyond the gate, with the will and force of his oven nation, but he journeys not against his own will; even as the lamb goeth as willingly to the shambles as to the meadow, so doth Christ cheerfully take up his cross and go without the camp. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Now recollect, if Jesus had not thirsted, every one of us would have thirsted for ever afar off from God, with an impassable gulf between us and heaven. I show unto you a more excellent way. John preached a sacrificial Saviour, a sin-bearing Saviour, a sin-atoning Saviour. So were the streets of Jerusalem; for great multitudes followed him. I wonder he has ever received them, as one marvels why he received this vinegar; and yet he has received them, and smiled upon us for presenting them.

It began with the mouth of appetite, when it was sinfully gratified, and it ends when a kindred appetite is graciously denied.

One would wish to be as a spouse, who, when she had already been feasting in the banqueting-house, and had found his fruit sweet to her taste, so that she was overjoyed, yet cried out, "Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love." "Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing." Romanists pretend to know; in fact they know the very spot where Veronica wiped the blessed face with her handkerchief, and found his likeness impressed upon it; we also know very well where that was not done; in fact they know the very spot where Jesus fainted, and if you go to Jerusalem you can see all these different places if you only carry enough credulity with you; but the fact is the city has been so razed, and burned, and ploughed, that there is little chance of distinguishing any of these positions, with the exception, it may be, of Mount Calvary, which being outside the walls may possibly still remain. I tell you, sirs, that yonder malefactor carried his cross and died on it; and you will carry your sorrows, and be damned with them, except you repent. I will not say it is because we are unfaithful to our Master that the world is more kind to us, but I half suspect it is, and it is very possible that if we were more thoroughly Christians the world would more heartily detest us, and if we would cleave more closely to Christ we might expect to receive more slander, more abuse, less tolerance, and less favor from men.
