Exodus 17.6 says, Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb, and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. We discussed Jesus being pictured in this rock that was smitten as a type and shadow. And we touched on the matter that the waters from this rock bring life and refreshment to the Hebrews. And that picture is the living water that Jesus promised to us as believers. 1 Corinthians 10, four says it crystal clear. And did all drink the same spiritual drink for they drank of that spiritual rock, capital R, that followed them. And that rock, capital R again, was Christ. The water represents Christ, or the water, the rock represents Christ, the water comes from Christ. And Jesus describes this reality when speaking to the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, and we read in John 4, 9 through 14, then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, how is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, if thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. Verse 11, the woman saith unto him, sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From whence then hast thou that living water? Verse 12, she says, Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? The answer would be yes. Verse 13, Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again, pointing at the well. Verse 14, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The Hebrews drank of that water that came out of the rock in Horeb, and we can assume they filled up their canteens and water barrels because in that desert heat it would be no time before they'd get thirsty again, and that's a physical reality of this material world. When a sinner comes to a saving knowledge in Jesus Christ and is forgiven of his or her sins, we receive the Holy Spirit. And now we have the written word of God at our disposal and we can face anything in this physical world knowing that we have eternal life. And we can offer that same spiritual drink to any and all lost sinners we interact with. Our thirst for forgiveness of sins and eternal life is quenched forever. And our spiritual thirst in this life is permanently quenched unless In a practical sense, we backslide and stop drinking from his fountain. We don't lose our salvation, but we can get spiritually thirsty until we confess our sins with the promise of 1 John 1, 9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I love how Jesus taught this in John 7, 37 to 40. In the last day, That great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this spake he of the Spirit. which they that believe on him should receive. For the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified. And verse 40 says, many of the people, therefore, when they heard this saying, said, of a truth, this is the prophet. Capital P, just like in Deuteronomy 18, predicting the Messiah. And the Bible actually ends with this same promise of the water of life in Revelation 21 6, and he said unto me, it is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is a thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. And again in Revelation 22 17, and the spirit and the bride say come. and let him that heareth say come, and let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." But don't just take it, share it. Tell others about Jesus as Jesus said in Matthew 10, 8, freely give, receive, freely give.
