God became man.
He left his riches and his glory and was born as a naked child. He left his power and majesty and came to walk in the dust with you and me. Jesus gave us a way back to God when he pointed beyond religion and carrier.
And Jesus gave his life, not because you or me deserved his help, but because he was thirsty...
Hanging on the cross, easter 2 000 y ago, he said: I'm thirsty!
He was not thirsty for water or wine, but his inner most desire cried out. The love and force in him that took him all the way to the cross. The desire that glared everything else in his life and made him give his own life; that made him accept nails through his hands and feet; that made him welcome the whiplash on his back without a word; the thirst that drove him to death....
That thirst, that desire deep inside of him, stronger then anything else, was a thirst and desire for....you....
Tomorrow I'll speak about thirst in SOS Church, 4pm.... see you!
