I Thirst | Seven Last Words Service | Minister Tracey King

About this sermon

In this powerful Holy Week message, we are reminded that true satisfaction cannot be found in people, possessions, or accomplishments—but only in Jesus Christ. Centered on John 19:28, this sermon explores both the physical and spiritual meaning behind Jesus’ declaration, “I thirst.” While it reveals His real human suffering, it also uncovers a deeper truth: His thirst was part of God’s divine plan to bring us eternal satisfaction. Through the cross, we witness “the exchange”—His suffering for our salvation, His thirst for our fulfillment. Many chase success, relationships, and status, only to find themselves still empty. But this message makes it clear that what the world offers is temporary, while what Jesus gives is eternal. True satisfaction is found in a relationship with Him, where our spiritual hunger is filled, our emotional needs are met, and our daily lives are sustained by His grace. Even after salvation, struggles like anxiety, loneliness, and uncertainty may remain—but in Christ, we find peace, joy, and provision. His words on the cross remind us that He understands our pain, fulfills scripture, and invites us into deeper communion with God. Only Jesus can satisfy the deepest longing of the soul John 19:28 John 6:35 Matthew 5:6 John 4:13-14 John 14:27 Philippians 4:19 Psalm 69:21 Psalm 42:1-2 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 #IThirst #SevenLastWords #HolyWeek #JourneyToResurrection #JesusSatisfies #FaithOverFeelings #SpiritualHunger #LivingWater #CrossMessage #HopeInChrist #SBCPhilly #SharonBaptistChurch Give Online: thesbc.org/giving Text to Give: Text “GIVE” + amount to 610-379-3818 Mail: 3955 Conshohocken Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19131 Follow us: Website: thesbc.org Facebook: Sharon Baptist Church Instagram: @thesbcphilly YouTube: Sharon Baptist Church Philly
