Thirst

Kyle Kauffman // Mar 20 2022

One of the ways to speak of unsatisfied longings in our life is to use the language of thirst. Just as our mouths grow dry and our bodies long for water to quench our thirst, so also our hearts and souls thirst for what we believe will satisfy us. As Jesus calls out on the cross of his thirst he reveals that the longing to find satisfaction that quenches our thirst is a universal one for humans. He shows us that his death is opening a way for our thirst to forever be quenched. And he reveals that the only thing that will satisfy us is to drink deeply of God’s love. This well, as evidenced by the cross, has no bottom and never runs dry.

John 19:28-30
