N.T.#725 "Is Your Soul Thirsty?"
Jan. 30, 2026
John 7-Part 3
He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (verse 38)
LET IT GLOW
We still have 14 more chapters in this book to study. By this time, the Pharisees and chief priests sent officers to take Jesus into custody. It was about 6 months between the Feast of Tabernacles and the Passover.
What are some golden nuggets found in this chapter?
- In a little while, Jesus was going back to heaven to be with the Father God. (verse 33)
- As the Jewish leaders rejected Jesus as the Son of God and Messiah, they were rejecting God. Thus, when they seek Jesus, they will not find Him, for it will be too late for them. (verse 34)
- Where Jesus goes, those hateful Jews cannot go. It takes faith in Jesus, repentance of sins, in order to enter heaven. (verse 34)
- During the feast, a priest would fill a golden pitcher with water from the Pool of Siloam, carry it to the altar at the Temple, and pour it through a funnel leading to the base of the altar. Probably that is when Jesus said, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. (verse 37)
LET IT GROW
The one who believes not only gets satisfied (verse 37), but also that person becomes a channel of blessing to others. (Isaiah 55:1-2)
These rivers of living water is the Holy Spirit, which was given after Jesus was glorified in the resurrection. His Spirit comes to live within saved believers-Christians.
Isaiah goes on to say, Seek the LORD while He may be found: Call upon Him while He is near. (55:6)
Isaiah goes on to say our thoughts and ways are not as His are. His Words will accomplish what He desires. The mountains and hills shout for joy and the trees clap their hands in praise to their Creator.
LET IT GO
May we always be a living and breathing testimony of Jesus in our life.
May we share You joy and praise You, King Jesus.
