This term living water in John 4:14, always meant spring water, in opposition to the dead, stagnant water contained in pools, ponds, tanks and cisterns; and what our Lord means by it is evidently the Holy Spirit, as may be seen in John 7:38-39. As water quenches the thirst, refreshes and energizes the body, purifies things defiled and makes the earth fruitful, so it is a fitting emblem of the Holy Spirit which so satisfies the souls that they no longer thirst for earthly good; it purifies them from spiritual defilement and it makes those who receive it fruitful in every good word and work. What is it? It’s living water. It’s satisfaction forever, soul satisfaction forever, and we who are Christians have it, but we need to allow God to work in our hearts to get the full joy, peace, and abundant life that is offered. Does this characterize your life?
“But 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.” (John 4:14)
