1. Joh 7:37-39
Series on the Holy Spirit
Rivers of Living Water

2. Joh 7:37-39
And in the last day of the great feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. (38) He who believes on Me, as the Scripture has said, "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." (39) (But He spoke this about the Spirit, which they who believed on Him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

3. The Feast of Tabernacle
The Feast of Tabernacles (Lev 23:34-42)
The day after the completing the feast is the highest day of the festival period.
It is on this day, Jesus stood in the temple and proclaimed

4. Feast of tabernacle Is to remember the days The wilderness experience
Days of impermanence
God’s caring and provisions for the people and their life stocks

5. Physical Thirst a reality and a need As the Jews in the wilderness:
So desirable, sought after
So refreshing, so reviving
So precious
Quenchable only with water

6. Spiritual Thirst An inner need that could not do without
Absent from within
It is something specific
Yet not finding and no substitute

7. Jesus is where you will find “water”
Come to know Jesus
he is the marker
Come to know what Jesus represents
the way, the truth, the life
Come to see what Jesus has done

8. The Holy Spirit is the water
Who is from God
Quenches our spiritual thirst
Quenches from the core of man
Overwhelming abundance

9. Application What do you seek? How have you been? Jesus is calling
Come and you shall receive the Holy Spirit and
you shall be satisfied

10. Conclusion
… but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Joh 4:14
