Jesus’ Thirst and Our Spiritual Rehydration – Wow! “In a startling way, Jesus inserted Himself into His parable of the rich man and Lazarus. In hell, the rich man cried out for mercy, pleading for Lazarus to ‘dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame’.

As inheritors of Adam’s sinful nature, we all can fall into passivity, failing to work and lead as we should.”
You never have to drag mercy out of Christ, as money from a miser.
—C.H. Spurgeon
