Jesus came so that we can all have LIFE
in abundance. He gives Living Water to those who come to Him. We read
in John 4:13 Jesus said to the woman at the well: “whoever drinks
of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water
that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up
to eternal life.” Jesus was speaking of the Holy Spirit, that was
given on the day of Pentecost.

The Apostle Peter explained this is
what was spoken of through the prophet Joel:

17‘AND
IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,’ God says,
‘THAT I WILL
POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND;
AND
YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY,
AND
YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS,
AND
YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;
IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,’ God says,

POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND;

ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN,
I WILL
IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT
And
they shall prophesy.

BLOOD, AND
FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.

Jesus is inviting everybody to come and
drink of the Living Water, not only to drink once but it becomes in
him a well of water springing up to eternal life. Jesus never changed
and His Holy Spirit never changes. It is not just a once off
experience. It grows and flows in and through those who keep on
drinking, keeping yearning for Jesus and keep on seeking Him, walking
with Him, following Him, praising Him.

How do you receive that Living Water?
The very same as those on the day of Pentecost. They asked Peter what
they should do to receive it, and he replied: ““Repent, and each
of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of
your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For
the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off,
as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” Acts 2:38,39.

Are you thirsty and dry? Do you yearn
for the Living Water? Then do as Peter instructed, repent and be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
