The River of Life

At times Jesus is cryptic in the use of parables or teaching. The powerful truths He shared were not always understood. However, here’s one that we all can understand today.

As a believer, we are filled with the Holy Spirit. God’s personal power comes to work in and through us in some pretty amazing ways.

Here, Jesus reminds us all of this promise, this hope, this help. The very next verse in John 7 tells us He is talking about the Holy Spirit.

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. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”  (John 7:37-38 NIV)
