● John 4:10 . . Jesus answered her: If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that
asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living
water.
Now obviously the water that Jesus offered the woman wasn't natural H2O. Had it
been, Jesus would not be asking the lady for a drink of hers because his slacks
one's thirst forever, viz: either the water he offered was supernatural or he had
never tasted it himself.
● John 4:13-14 . . Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but
whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst.
Now we can see why folks never get thirsty again after one drink of living water
because it keeps on hydrating its hosts nonstop
● John 4:14 . . Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water
welling up to eternal life.
"living water" is apparently a figure of speech that speaks of special characteristics
relative to God's Holy Spirit.
Later Jesus offered the water to folks in a larger venue, in point of fact the Temple
grounds in the city of Jerusalem.
● John 7:37-39 . . On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said
in a loud voice: If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever
believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from
within him. By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later
to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet
been glorified.
And finally in last chapter of the last book of the Bible, the scope of the benefit is
expanded to take in the entire world.
● Rev 22:17 . .The Spirit and the bride say: Come! And let him who hears say:
Come! Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free
gift of the water of life.
Now regardless of how someone might interpret the living water and/or how they
might feel about it; there are at least five things we know for sure.
1) It's supernatural
2) It sustains eternal life.
3) Folks need only to imbibe it once.
4) It's free of charge with no strings attached.
5) The offering requires an RSVP
So: I suggest finding a quite place. Cover you face with your hands: it will give you
a sense of connection. In your own words-- out loud or under your breath --speak
up and tell God you would like to have the living water that His son advertises in
the new testament.
