THE BOOK OF BOOKS tells us about “this water” and in THE BOOK OF BOOKS we are also reading about “the water” the Lord Jesus Christ gives us.
“THIS WATER.”
You don’t need me to tell you that water is a liquid. Plants need water, animals need water, and we humans cannot exist without water. Water is without taste, odour, colour, and it is clear. Water constitutes in impure form, rain, oceans and more. Formula: H2O. And we are told that “Water is the best drink.”
“THE WATER” THE LORD JESUS CHRIST GIVES US.
In the Word of God WATER is frequently symbolical of not only of the Lord’s blessing, but also of spiritual refreshment.
In Ezekiel 47:1-11 Ezekiel has a vision. Unrestricted blessing from the LORD is flowing upon the people of the Lord.
How does Jeremiah describe the LORD in Jeremiah 2:13 and Jeremiah 17:13? He describes the LORD as “the spring of living water”. “The spring of living water” is echoed of the Holy Spirit in John 7:38.
The supreme blessing that the Lord gives is eternal life, and water is connected with eternal life in the New Testament. Please read John 4:14 and Revelation 7:17.
But THE BOOK OF BOOKS says also:
“‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him, will never thirst.” – John 4:13,14
