John 4:4-14
Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. John 7:37
Jesus referred to "living water " in John to a continual source of refreshment. Tired and thirsty, Jesus had asked a Samaritan woman for a drink. This request led to a conversation in which Jesus offered the woman "living water "- water that would become a source of life and hope, "a spring of water welling up to eternal life ".
We discover what this living water is later in John, when Jesus said, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink ", declaring that whoever believed in Him would have "rivers of living water from within them. " John explains, "By this he meant Spirit ".
Through the Spirit, believers are united to Christ and have access to the boundless power, hope, and joy found in God. Like living water, the Spirit lives inside believers, refreshing and renewing us.
