The Living Water.

John 19:28 After this, Jesus knew that everything had now been completed, and to fulfill the scripture perfectly he said:

“I am thirsty.”

This week, we are led to the living water by Moses, St Paul to the Romans and a Samaritan Woman who came to draw water, from the well.

Who is the living water?

The living water is Jesus Christ, John 7:37-38 ‘If any man is thirsty, let him come to me! Let the man come and drink. Who believes in me! As scripture says; From his breast shall flow fountains of living water.

I admit, when times are hard, I can be like those who were led out of Egypt. “Is God with us, or not?” I would like to think my faith is strong, yet I can take it for granted. ‘I am thirsty,’ thirsty for more, thirsty to hear the God who is the Spirit. As a disciple, I am too like the Sarmatian woman, who turns to the people of her village, which soon leads them to know that Jesus is ‘truly the savior of the world.’ Every Sunday, or every week when attending mass, in the moment, when we call upon the Holy Spirit to rain down upon us, it’s through our faith, our hope and the love of God, that the living water has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.

  John 19:29-30 A jar full of vinegar stood there, so putting a sponge soaked in vinegar on a hyssop stick they held it up to his mouth. After Jesus had taken the vinegar he said, “it is accomplished,” and bowing his head he gave up his spirit.

We listen and we go forth to spread the message of God, meaning we bring the world to know the God who is Spirit and Truth. At some point though, we will get tired of listening and seeing the same message but it’s until, we hear and see it in a different light, that we can appreciate it and fully understand what God is telling us. When tired remember to cast all our cares to God, He alone comforts and strengthens our weaknesses. That is why our greatest weapon is prayer and the word of our God, remember “It is written.”

Revelation 7:17 because the lamb who is at the throne will be their Shepherd and will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.
