Jesus is risen! Alleluia

Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly( John 10:10b). On the cross he conquered sin and death. While hanging on the cross Jesus also said, "I thirst"( John 19:28). Yet in Mark 15: 22 we read "They gave him wine drugged with myrrh, but he did not take it." What do these details tell us?

1. Give two possible ways we can interpret the words, "I thirst."

2. Why would the soldiers offer Jesus wine drugged with myrrh?

3. Why would Jesus have refused to drink this wine drugged with myrrh?

4. When  do  Hayesmen experience times of stress and pressure?

5. How do  our discussions with Ms. Martin about tobacco and alcohol tie in with the questions 1 to four?
