Preaching/Teaching on John 7:37-39

Jesus Appeals to the Thirsty

By standing up and crying out Jesus attracts attention

Jesus Encourages Belief

The Word “believe’s in John 7:38 is translated in the ESV as “entrust” and “faith” elsewhere in the New Testament.

In John 7:38, it speaks about believing in the Jesus of the Gospel, not an imitation.

Jesus Promises The Spirit

A Future Reality

Jesus Will Be Glorified

Jesus needed to be Glorified before the Spirit could be sent.

The New International Version Chapter 7

37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” c 39 By 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.
