We’re again looking at Jesus’
offer of living water. This time I want to look at the larger picture of what
was going on around Jesus when He spoke. That will help you to see more clearly
what Jesus was doing. And what you’ll see is that Jesus’ actions fit into a
pattern found in others in the Scriptures. Listen to it again.
On the last day
of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts,
let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has
said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”
