The Word: Living Water


How can something so simple and plain be so complex and vital to life? How can something as basic as water be used in so many different ways? We use water to drink, to clean, to swim in, and to play. It can lay still, calm, and perfectly harmless, yet this same water has ribbed down houses and destroyed landscapes in floods. Water may be cold or hot, ice or steam, used to bring life or death. Water can be used in different ways for different purposes, yet the basics of it are quite simple: h2o.


In John 7, Jesus called himself the Living Water. He says in verse 37: “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."

Today, we can’t physically come to Jesus and listen to His teachings, but we do have His word, the Bible. His word is simple, but it can be used in so many different ways; it cleans, to strength, and to refresh. It can quiet the soul and calm the mind, yet it is also sharper than a sword. The Bible is so simple, yet is so complex and vital to our spiritual lives. The word of God is the Living Water. I hope you can join me as we look deeper in the amazing and incredible word of God.
