Jan 21 - Jesus is the Living Water

Read: John 7:37-39

Context: Shortly after yesterday's reading Jesus went to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles. At this point the Pharisees were planning to take His life. He began teaching publicly in the temple courts and the people were amazed.

Text: 37On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38Whoever believes in me, as[c] the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." 39By 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. (NIV)
