When the Water of Life Became Thirsty

Share a comment

Why did Jesus say, “I thirst” from the cross? What seems like a simple human need reveals something far deeper and eternal. In this episode, Stephen Davey unpacks the shortest of Jesus’ seven final statements—a single phrase that opens the floodgates of profound theological insight. You’ll discover four key glimpses into Christ’s nature: His true humanity, His stunning humility, His fulfillment of prophetic Scripture, and His heartfelt invitation to a thirsty world.

This isn’t just about physical thirst. It’s about your thirst for purpose, peace, forgiveness, and eternal life. Jesus, the Water of Life, experienced thirst so that you would never thirst again. His words on the cross point directly to the gift of salvation—offered freely, without payment, to all who believe.

This episode will challenge your heart, deepen your understanding of the gospel, and remind you that only Jesus can satisfy the thirst of the human soul. If you’ve ever felt dry, empty, or distant from God, listen closely—because this changes everything.
