Living Waters

John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 

38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

39 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.

John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 

Zech 4:8  On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem…

Ezekiel 47 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east …

The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. 

2 He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side.

3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. 

4 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep.

He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. 

5 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross. 

7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.

8 He said to me, “This water …enters the Dead Sea 8 He said to me, “This water …enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. 

9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows…where the river flows everything will live. 

Colossians 1:6… In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.

Psalm 42:1 As the deer pants for streams of water,     so my soul pants for you, my God.

2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.     When can I go and meet with God?

John 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

Isaiah 44:3  For I will pour water on the thirsty land,     and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring,     and my blessing on your descendants.

Is 55:1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters…

John 4:14 …the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

John 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

John 7:39 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.

Luke 11:9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

…13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
