John 7:37-39
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
At the festival of booths when prayer for rain was made and remembrance of water flowing from the rock in the wilderness in Israel's journey, Jesus spoke. He said He was the source of living water in us through faith in Him - who He is and what He offers. He now gives us His Spirit when we truly repent and believe, taking away the heart of stone, and that new water flows like a river from us. You have all His Spirit if you are reborn, and without it you are not His. We in Him honor and please Him as we let Him flow.
