Holy Spirit the life-giver

Jesus appeals to the thirsty

By standing up and crying out Jesus attracts attention

John 7:37 ESV

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

Why

Why do you think Jesus waits to the last day of the feast?

Jesus encourages belief

Translation points

The word “believes” in is translated in the ESV as “entrust” and “faith” elsewhere in the New Testament

John 7:38 ESV

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ ”

The sense of the word “believes” is trust in Jesus as revealed in the gospel.

How do you think you would have responded to this promise of living water?

Jesus promises the spirit

A future reality

Jesus will be glorified

Jesus will be glorified

Jesus needed to be glorified before the Spirit was sent
