“He that believeth on me…

JESUS THE LIVING WATER
 
In a show of love for His enemies, Jesus offered to them living water, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” This living water is the water of the Spirit that Jesus gives. We must believe on Him in order to receive this water. “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5).
 
The living water that Jesus gives will quench our sin-parched soul. Just as the desert springs to life once rain comes, so our soul when the Spirit comes. Once born again by the Spirit, we no longer grope in the darkness of sin, but walk in the light of truth. We know the meaning of life. We know where we come from, why we are here, and where we shall go. This is life indeed, and this life can only be had by drinking of the Water of Life which is Christ Himself.
 
After hearing these gracious words of salvation, many of the people concluded, “Of a truth this is the Prophet.” Surely Jesus is the Messianic Prophet like Moses (Deut 18:15) who came not only to teach the law like Moses did, but much more than Moses, He came also to fulfil the law through His perfect obedience. The Jewish priests and lawyers had been shut up and defeated by Jesus. None of them could gainsay against Him.
 
THOUGHT: Jesus is the Origin and Fountain of Life.

PRAYER: Father, give me this living water ever more.
