John 19:30(ESV)
When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
In the book of Mathew 27:34 and Mark 15:23, wine mingled with gall and myrrh was offered to the Lord as a stupefying drink before His crucifixion, but He did not take it. In this verse, vinegar was mockingly offered to Him at the end of His crucifixion. Luke 23:36 also gives this same account.
In His crucifixion, the Lord was still working and through His crucifixion, He finished the work of His all-inclusive death, by which He accomplished redemption, terminated the old creation, and released His resurrection life to bring forth the new creation to fulfil God’s purpose.
Brethren in Christ, in the process of His death, He proved to His opposers and His believers, by the way He behaved, that He was life. The dreadful environment of death did not frighten Him in the least; rather, it provided a contrast that proved strongly that He as life, was versus death and could not be affected by death in any way. Praise the Lord!!!
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank you for giving us your beloved son to die for us. Help me to endure till the end and shine in my life to one useful in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
