The Word of Suffering
A Word of Suffering John 19:28 John 19:28-29 Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." [29] A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. This cry from the cross should cause us to: 1. Realize the certainty of suffering. 2. Remain faithful to our calling to serve God. 3. Renew our commitment to Scripture. 4. Remember the work of Christ that brought salvation. 5. Recognize our own craving for sustenance.

No matter what you do in this life, you can hardly be considered a success if in your rapid climb to the top you neglect to care for your family. d. If you can't honor them while they are alive, you can remember them after they die. e. If you are unable to speak good about your parents, you can honor them by refusing to speak evil of them. 3. A disciple's responsibility: a. John deserted his Savior b. John returned to his Savior c. John was forgiven by his Savior Family Devotional Follow-Up: 1. In a practical sense, what does it mean to you to "honor your parents"? 2. Read Ecclesiastes 12. Why is it important to remember God when you are young? 3. Read Psalm 127. In what sense are children a "reward" from the Lord? Why is the person blessed whose "quiver" is full? 4. Do you agree that we are always called to honor our parents, even if we can't always obey them? How can this principle help us win our unbelieving parents who do not understand our faith in Christ? 5. Name three ways we can honor our parents after they have died. 6. If your parents are still living, take a moment and pray for them right now. If you have children, pray for them as well.

Jesus proves by His life and death what He was teaching.
