That The Scripture Might Be Fulfilled

Text: John 19: 28 - 30

THAT THE SCRIPTURE MIGHT BE FULFILLED

From the beginning of His ministry Jesus was conscious of fulfilling the Scriptures. That consciousness was still there in His dying moments.

“After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, ‘I thirst!’ Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, ‘It is finished!’ And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.” 

John 19:28-30

1. “Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scriptures might be fulfilled”

a. Jesus had to fulfil His ministry as the Messiah.
b. His teaching, healing, and all that He did was to fulfil the Scriptures (Isaiah 42, 49, 61).
c. There was another part that He must fulfil and that was suffering and dying (Isaiah 53).
d. That was now fulfilled too.

2. “I thirst”

a. Physically, Jesus was very thirsty.
b. The scourging had caused Him to lose a lot of blood.
c. He needed to quench His parched throat for what He was about to say next.

3. The sour wine was given

a. The soldiers used a sponge to soak in the wine.
b. The hyssop is a shrub and it was used to carry the sponge of sour wine to the lips of Jesus.

4. “It is finished”

a. After taking a sip of the sour wine, Jesus was able to speak again.
b. “It is finished…” This was a cry of victory.
c. It was uttered in triumph and not defeat.

5. “And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit”

a. The bowing of the head signifies His acknowledgment of God and all that He had planned.
b. A human being is made up of two parts:
i. The external and material part would die.
ii. The spirit is entrusted to God. This was what Jesus did (Psalm 31:5).

经文:约翰福音 19:28-30

使经上的话得应验

自从耶稣的职事开始时,祂就意识到要应验经上的话。在祂临死的时刻,耶稣仍然有着这意识。

“这事以后,耶稣知道各样的事已经成了,为要使经上的话应验,就说:‘我渴了。’有一个器皿盛满了醋,放在那里。他们就拿海绒蘸满了醋,绑在牛膝草上,送到他口。耶稣尝了那醋,就说:‘成了!’便低下头,将灵魂交付神了。”
