“Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink” – JESUS
“On the last and greatest day of the festival(Feast of the Tabernacle-Sukkot), Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” 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 7:37-39 (NIV)
How many of us are thirsty for the living water that Jesus came to give to those who believe? I found the church allowed the world to come in so much and those who come to follow Jesus are settling down for lesser things just as the worldly people and not bothered to go after spiritual things. If you are careless you will lose all the spiritual life which Jesus went on insisting His hearers and disciples to take that very seriously and go after. Let the rivers of living water go out of us, which is the anointing of the Holy Spirit and touch others too.
“Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”” John 4:10, 13-14 (NIV)
Above verses the Lord Jesus gave to the Samaritan woman whom he just met near a well. Jesus immediately talked about spiritual life she could have by just asking Him to give to her and she would never go thirsty again. Because the water Jesus gives to her will become in her a spring welling upto eternal life. We should also go after the things of God through Jesus Christ and thirst for that heavenly, wonderful eternal life and be satisfied fully in that supernatural life here and now.
“I am the bread of life, whoever comes to Me and believes in Me will never go hungry or thirsty” – JESUS
“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35 (NIV)
As the Lord Jesus explained that He is the bread of life and those who are really hungry and thirsty for the spiritual life can only come and have all that the Lord got to give to quench hunger and thirst. Only when anyone is hungry they can eat well or when anyone is thirsty can drink the water. Let us all forget about this world and the things in it, but go for heavenly things to receive all that God came to let us know, and go after to receive the heavenly things, so that we can be well satisfied in this life right now.
