During the feast, Jesus preached again to the crowds in the temple court. They were waiting for the high priest to pour water on the altar. The priests came in procession with gladness and cheers to pour that water before God, an offering of thanks, symbol of the blessings they were seeking from the Creator for the coming year. They based this tradition on Isaiah’s words, "They shall draw waters with joy from the springs of salvation."
Jesus saw the thirsty souls, who despite all the ritual did not know salvation. Jesus cried out to the expectant crowds, "Come to me and drink of the water of life freely. Let every one who thirsts come to me. I am the spring of life."
Those who do not long for the divine life, will not come to the Savior. But to those who resort to him, Jesus says, "Whoever believes in me and is bonded with me personally becomes a fountain of blessing to many. The Scriptures urges you to have faith in me, and God commands you to come to me and find life and joy. " Whoever boldly approaches Jesus and drinks in his words and is filled with his Spirit is transformed. The thirsty one becomes a spring; the wicked egoist becomes a faithful servant.
Have you experienced the providential care of Jesus? He wants you to become a well of clear water. No doubt your heart brings out evil thoughts. But Jesus can purify your heart and mouth. So that you may become a source of blessing to many.
Jesus’ aim is not just the cleansing of mind and soul but your body too, so that you become a living sacrifice acceptable to God, serving the lost. He purposes your entire sanctification, so that you may no longer live for yourself, but use your strength freely to serve others. Whoever yields himself unconditionally to Jesus will become a blessing to many.
