¿Did we complain because they gave us vinegar instead of water? (Part II)
Psalm 69:21
'They gave me bitter drink in my food. And because I was thirsty they gave me sour wine.'John 19:28-29
'Jesus knew that everything was now finished. Everything happened as the Holy Writings said it would happen. He said, “I am thirsty.” There was a jar full of sour wine near. They filled a sponge and put it on a stick and put it to His mouth.'
As if that were not enough, Jesus with all that happened, the only thing that could be expected is that they give him to drink water, nevertheless, always they offered him vinegar ... In 2 occasions!
"They came to a place called Golgotha. This name means the place of a skull. They gave Him wine with something in it to take away the pain. After tasting it, He took no more. " (Matthew 27:33-34)
"About three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, “My God, My God, why have You left Me alone?” When some of those who stood by heard that, they said, “This Man is calling for Elijah.” At once one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with sour wine. He put it on a stick and gave it to Him to drink."(Matthew 27:46-48) ... Amazingly Jesus did not complain!

"The things your sinful old self wants to do are: sex sins, sinful desires, wild living, worshiping false gods, witchcraft, hating, fighting, being jealous, being angry, arguing, dividing into little groups and thinking the other groups are wrong, false teaching, wanting something someone else has, killing other people, using strong drink, wild parties, and all things like these. I told you before and I am telling you again that those who do these things will have no place in the holy nation of God." (Galatians 5:19-21) ... All that is ... so that we do not inherit the kingdom of God ...
¿Will we play that devil's game? ¿What should we do?
"Be glad you can do the things you should be doing. Do all things without arguing and talking about how you wish you did not have to do them. In that way, you can prove yourselves to be without blame. You are God’s children and no one can talk against you, even in a sin-loving and sin-sick world. You are to shine as lights among the sinful people of this world. Take a strong hold on the Word of Life. Then when Christ comes again, I will be happy that I did not work with you for nothing." (Philippians 2: 14-16)
¿What else should we do?
"Do not throw away your trust, for your reward will be great. You must be willing to wait without giving up. After you have done what God wants you to do, God will give you what He promised you. The Holy Writings say, “In a little while, the One you are looking for will come. It will not be a long time now. For the one right with God lives by faith. If anyone turns back, I will not be pleased with him.” We are not of those people who turn back and are lost. Instead, we have faith to be saved from the punishment of sin." (Hebrews 10:35-39)
So ... ¿Did we complain because they gave us vinegar instead of water?
God bless you and have an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
