Christ does exempt you from sin, but not from sorrow; he does take the curse of the cross, but he does not take the cross of the curse away from you. You carry the cross after him. Today! That impenitent thief went from the cross of his great agony and it was agony indeed to die on a cross he went to that place, to the flames of hell; and you, too, may go from the bed of sickness, and from the abode of poverty, to perdition, quite as readily as from the home of ease and the house of plenty.

We are to reckon upon all this, and should the worst befal us, it is to be no strange thing to us. Dear fountain of delight unknown! How has it been with you? We are in the world, but we must never be of it; we are not to be secluded like monks in the cloister, but we are to be separated like Jews among Gentiles; men, but not of men; helping, aiding, befriending, teaching, comforting, instructing, but not sinning either to escape a frown or to win a smile.

Then I will thirst with him and not complain, I will suffer with him and not murmur." It is said that a German regiment was at that time stationed in Judea, and I should not wonder if they were the lineal ancestors of those German theologians of modern times who have mocked the Savior, tampered with revelation, and cast the vile spittle of their philosophy into the face of truth. They place the cross upon Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country. A new edition of Spurgeon's classic devotional using the ESV.

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'? He goes forth, then, bearing his cross. He can receive vinegar, but not lukewarm love. I fear me, beloved, I fear me that the most of us if we ever do carry it, carry it by compulsion, at least when it first comes on to our shoulders we do not like it, and would fain run from it, but the world compels us to bear Christ's cross. Jesus thirsted, then let us thirst in this dry and thirsty land where no water is. 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. Perhaps, dear sister, you carry about with you a gnawing disease which eats at your heart, but Jesus took our sicknesses, and his cup was more bitter than yours. crucify him!"

SPURGEON (1834-1892) "I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them." John 17:26 . Oh! Some of those whom we loved very dearly we have seen quite unable to help themselves; the death sweat has been upon them, and this has been one of the marks of their approaching dissolution, that they have been parched with thirst, and could only mutter between their half-closed lips, "Give me to drink." Conservative, but not too much depth. The voice of sympathy prevailed over the voice of scorn. The more manifestly there shall be a great gulf between the Church and the world, the better shall it be for both; the better for the world, for it shall be thereby warned; the better for the Church, for it shall be thereby preserved. And yet he placed himself for our sakes into a position of shame and suffering where none would wait upon him, but when he cried, "I thirst," they gave him vinegar to drink. A river of the water of life, pure as crystal, proceedeth to-day out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, and yet once he condescended to say, "I thirst," before his angelic guards, they would surely have emulated the courage of the men of David when they cut their way to the well of Bethlehem that was within the gate, and drew water in jeopardy of their lives. I like to think of our Lord's saying, "It is finished," directly after he had exclaimed, "I thirst"; for these two voices come so naturally together. ye unregenerate men and women, and there are not a few such here now, remember that when God saw Christ in the sinner's place he did not spare him, and when he finds you without Christ, he will not spare you. The ceremonial of the Jewish religion denies him any participation in its pomps; the priests condemn him never again to tread the hallowed floors, never again to look upon the consecrated altars in the place of his people's worship. What a cataract of immortal souls dashes downwards to the pit every hour! III. Oh! They force him without the walls, and are not satisfied till they have rid themselves of his obnoxious presence. Jesus was deserted of God; and if he, who was only imputedly a sinner, was deserted, how much more shall you be? He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. Well might the Master say, "Weep not for me, but for yourselves." This very plainly sets forth the true and proper humanity of Christ, who to the end recognised his human relationship to Mary, of whom he was born. Will ye raise a clamor of tumultuous shouting? I cannot give you more than a mere taste of this rich subject, but I have been most struck with two ways of regarding our Lord's last words. 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." "Weep for yourselves," says Christ, "rather than for me." ( John 19:1-4) Pilate hopes to satisfy the mob by having Jesus whipped and mocked. Let this mind be in you also. 'Tis his cross, and he goes before you as a shepherd goes before his sheep. Thirst is a common-place misery, such as may happen to peasants or beggars; it is a real pain, and not a thing of a fancy or a nightmare of dreamland.

And said, Hail, King of the Jews!_ "I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk; eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved."

Certainly it is so with you; you do but carry the light end of the cross; Christ bore the heavier end.

I have shown you, believer, your position; let me now show you your service. There were two other cross-bearers in the throng; they were malefactors; their crosses were just as heavy as the Lord's, and yet, at least, one of them had no sympathy with him, and his bearing the cross only led to his death, and not to his salvation. I am ashamed of some professed Christians, heartily ashamed of them! Ray Stedman I show unto you a more excellent way. Did not the high-priest bring the scape-goat, and put both his hands upon its head, confessing the sins of the people, that thus those sins might be laid upon the goat? Thoughtful men have drawn a wealth of meaning from them, and in so doing have arranged them into different groups, and placed them under several heads. Amen. Jesus took the wrath; Jesus carried the sin; and now all that you endure is but for his sake, that you may be conformed unto his image, and may aid in gathering his people into his family. He ran and filled a sponge with vinegar: it was the best way he knew of putting a few drops of moisture to the lips of one who was suffering so much; but though he felt a degree of pity, it was such as one might show to a dog; he felt no reverence, but mocked as he relieved. We do not know what may have been the color of alimony face, but it was most likely black. He calls for that: will you not give it to him? 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."

It is that he may eat and drink with you, for he promises that if we open to him he will enter in and sup with us and we with him. He loved the Gentile, but still Jerusalem was the city of the Great King. 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. Simon was an African; he came from Cyrene.

London shall see the glory of the one: Jerusalem beheld the shame of the other. The power to suffer for another, the capacity to be self-denying even to an extreme to accomplish some great work for God this is a thing to be sought after, and must be gained before our work is done, and in this Jesus is before us our example and our strength. And now, brethren, our blessed Lord has at this time a thirst for communion with each one of you who are his people, not because you can do him good, but because he can do you good.

Who among us would not willingly pour out his soul unto death if he might but give refreshment to the Lord? See, it has been blackened with bruises, and stained with the shameful spittle of them that derided him. Oh! Scripture provides a wealth .

He saw its streets flowing like bloody rivers; he saw the temple naming up to heaven; he marked the walls loaded with Jewish captives crucified by command of Titus; he saw the city razed to the ground and sown with salt, and he said, "Weep not for me, but for yourselves and for your children, for the day shall come when ye shall say to the rocks, Hide us, and to the mountains, Fall upon us." Thirst is no royal grief, but an evil of universal manhood; Jesus is brother to the poorest and most humble of our race. Next Saturday all eyes will be fixed on a great Prince who shall ride through our streets with his Royal Bride. Oh!

Justice must fly the field lest it be severe to so deserving a being; as for punishment, it must not be whispered to his ears polite.

The woes which broke the Savior's heart must crush theirs. Shake off the thought, any of you who suppose that God will have pity on you because you have endured affliction. How near akin the thirsty Saviour is to us; let us love him more and more. May the Holy Ghost work in you the complete pattern of Christ crucified, and to him shall be praise for ever and ever.

Great and worshipful being that he is, truth is to be altered for him, the gospel is to be modulated to suit the tone of his various generations, and all the arrangements of the universe are to be rendered subservient to his interests. sinner, if God hides his face from Christ, how much less will he spare you!
